Transfer to Secondary School
At 11+ our children transfer to secondary level education. Children from our school will already have widened their friendship group to include pupils in their year group from our partner school at East Wold. Close links are maintained with the local secondary schools to ensure a smooth transition to a child’s next stage in their education. Throughout their time at North Cockerington School, pupils will have had opportunities to take part in sporting, cultural and other curriculum events at different local secondary schools. In the summer term, pupils spend up to three transition days at their chosen secondary school.
Children from North Cockerington School normally transfer to King Edward VI Grammar School (Louth), Louth Academy, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (Alford) or Somercotes Academy (North Somercotes).
