Transitions

Managing the Year 6 to Year 7 move into secondary school

One shared, accurate picture of every child

Coming September 2026

Every summer, thousands of Hackney pupils move from Year 6 into Year 7 — and vital information too often gets lost between primary and secondary schools. Transitions gives both sides the same accurate picture of every child, so no pupil starts secondary school as a stranger.

What it will solve

Seamless primary-to-secondary handover

Carry every Year 6 record straight into secondary, so nothing is rekeyed or lost when a pupil moves school.

Know your incoming Year 7 cohort

Give each secondary an early, accurate picture of exactly which pupils are joining and where they're coming from.

Protect vulnerable pupils

Surface SEND, safeguarding and at-risk pupils early, so the right support is ready from the very first day of Year 7.
