Secondary Education

Moving to secondary school is a big step for children, and it is natural to worry about their future, their education and, most importantly, their happiness. We are here to offer support and guidance to families going through this process. When preparing for secondary school, we strongly advise families to research and visit prospective schools. It is important to have an open mind and consider all possibilities. It is also important to think about the right fit for your child, thinking carefully about where they will flourish and most importantly be happy in their next phase of learning. Trafford is a selective education authority where grammar schools have entrance exams. Parents are advised to check school websites for information about open days and individual admission processes.

Which Secondary Schools Can I Apply to?

Historically children have transferred from St Vincent’s Catholic Primary School to schools in Trafford, although there are other secondary schools that can be considered. The most important advice we can offer is to visit the schools and their website for up to date information on their open days and admissions policy. Admission policies can change from year to year and are often dependent on where you live. Some independent schools offer bursaries and scholarships too.
