Moving from primary to secondary school is an exciting milestone and a significant change. ECC aims to ensure incoming students feel welcomed, supported and confident.

• Open Night and school visits
• Primary-school links
• AEN transition planning
• Parent information
• Orientation to timetables, rooms, lockers and routines
• Tutor and Year Head support
• Clubs, sport and activities to help students make friends

The First-Year page should answer practical student questions: What will my first day be like? What if I get lost? Who can I speak to? How do I make friends? What if schoolwork is difficult?
