Transition Information

Welcome to our Year 6 Transition Information page - your one-stop shop for information. Its purpose is to provide an area where parents and carers of our future Year 7 pupils can find key information ahead of their move to Penryn College in September.

Induction Day Reminders

All students have been invited for two Induction Days this year. During the Induction Days, students will experience lessons across the school, including PE, meeting key staff, touring the school, and experiencing lunch in the canteen.

Our SEN team have also been inviting some students in for additional Induction Days, which will take place weekly during June and July.

We ask that all students arrive for 9.15am on these Induction Days and are collected at 2.30pm. Dropping off in the school bus bay will be available, and students will be met and dismissed at the main reception.

Pupil Premium and Free School Meals

Pupil Premium was introduced by the government in April 2011. It is additional funding allocated to schools to support Pupil Premium-eligible students.

Pupil Premium-eligible students are those who receive free school meals; those who have been in receipt of free school meals in the last six years; looked after children; service children; and adopted children. The aim of Pupil Premium is to close the historic attainment and progress gaps between the aforementioned groups of children and all others.

For further information and to view our Pupil Premium policies please click here.

ClassCharts

Here at Penryn College we use ClassCharts to manage seating plans, record achievements and record incidents of bad behaviour at school.

ClassCharts uses data recorded to create optimised seating plans in seconds. We're able to instantly track a specific student's interactions with other pupils within the classroom and create seating plans based on the historical effect pupils have on each other's behaviours, development and progress.

You can read more about ClassCharts here.
