Welcome to our Year 6 Transition Page
Congratulations to all that have received an offer of a place at Chertsey High School! We are thoroughly looking forward to meeting our new Year 7 students soon. In the meantime, there are a range of links and resources below for students and families to inform you about your new school. Please keep checking back to this page as we will update it between now and your child's first day with more information regarding the transition.
At any point during the transition process, if you would like further help or advice, please do not hesitate to contact our Year 7 Pastoral Team.

Chertsey High School Year 6 Parent Information Evening: Thursday 30th April 2026
We are delighted to welcome our new Year 6 community into the school. This initial parent information evening is designed to introduce you to our ethos, approach to inclusion, behaviour, uniform expectations, and the arrangements for the reamining transition process. You will also have the opportunity to meet your child's Head of Year. The Chertsey High School Association (CHSA), our thriving parent community group, will be present in the Dining Hall, as will SUD, our school uniform suppliers, should you wish to look at items and sizing. Please also note that we will be holding a second-hand uniform sale this term and will inform you once the date has been confirmed.
