Children normally transfer from primary (Year 6) to secondary school (Year 7) at the start of the school year in which their twelfth birthday falls (i.e. 1 September to 31 August inclusive).

Children will be eligible to move to Secondary School in September 2027 if their date of birth lies between 01.09.15 and 31.08.16.

The majority of pupils in our school move on to Croesyceiliog School and there are a variety of transition activities that run in Year 5 and Year 6 to aid the move.

We also have a small number of pupils who go to other schools in the local area, including Cwmbran High School, Abersychan Comprehensive, West Monmouth Comprehensive School, Crownbridge School and St Alban's High School.
