We appreciate that starting a new school can be a daunting time for both parents and students. We would encourage you to attend our Year 6 Open Evening which will be held at The Grange School. You will have a chance to meet the teaching staff who work across both Twynham and TGS as well as experience a range of secondary school lessons. There will be students from both schools to guide and answer questions and you will be able to attend one of two presentations from our Executive Headteacher for both of our schools.

Following on from the Year 6 Open evening in September 2024 this is an opportunity for you to book to visit the The Grange School site. This does not include a formal presentation but an opportunity for you and your child to visit the school during a 'normal working day'. Open Mornings will run throughout October and are bookable following the Open Evening by contacting us on 01202 486536 or email office@thegrangeschool.com
In addition to our Open Mornings and Induction Day, we have a dedicated Year 6 Transitions Portal on the website which will be available from the Summer Term.
