Transition to Kirkburton Middle School

We are delighted that your child will be joining our Year 6 class in September and we are eager to meet them very soon. We recognise what a big decision choosing a new school is for parents and carers and we are very grateful you have chosen to trust us with the next stage of your child’s education. We very much look forward to working with you over the coming weeks and months in order to ensure your child has a very happy and successful time at Kirkburton Middle School.

We know that starting a new school can be a stressful time for both parents and pupils, so we aim to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Moving to a new school

The links to websites below are packed with useful information and informative videos about moving to a new school. Whilst these are aimed at Year 6 pupils joining a Year 7 in High School, the information is just a relevant and is still very useful in helping you understand about joining us at KMS.
