Transition
Welcome to Romsey!
Any questions? Please see our Frequently Asked Questions area here.
Headteacher's Welcome
We are delighted to welcome you and your child to The Romsey School. Romsey is an exceptionally special place. It is a highly successful, vibrant, and welcoming school which has a distinctive ethos of ‘compassionate excellence’ that resonates throughout the community. We will endeavour to ensure that your child both flourishes and excels in our care. We are united by two pathways which will enable your child’s success. Firstly, we pride ourselves on our high quality Teaching and Learning. Secondly, your family will experience the value that we place on warm and respectful relationships between staff, students, and parents. For example, you and your child will be ably supported by our excellent Student Support Team who will be introducing themselves in the next few pages of this booklet.
The purpose of this site is to keep all the parents of our new Year 7 up to date with the latest plans for transition as well as a single place to come for all the various publications, media and forms that will be released during the transition period.
Further details will follow and this page will be regularly updated as the year progresses.
We look forward to seeing you and your child in school soon!
Mrs Eagle
