Primary School Transition
Initially, primary schools are responsible for managing the Year 7 application process.
By the first week of term 2, primary schools will have distributed information to the parents of Year 6 children relating to secondary education and an ‘Application for Year 7 Placement’ form. On this application form, parents are asked to list up to three secondary school preferences. If you would like your child to attend Brighton Secondary College, it is important to list us as your first preference.
The information (Placement Information Pack) that is distributed to parents of Year 6 children will outline all relevant dates relating to the Year 7 placement process and more information can be found HERE.
Please contact our Registrar, Sally if you have any questions about the process, our school or are enquiring about a transfer after the school year has commenced.
