Welcome to Sandringham – your new school.
We would like to welcome you to Sandringham School and what will be the start of a wonderful period in your lives. Secondary school is incredibly exciting, challenging and rewarding and you will join many thousands of children who have been educated at the school.
Welcome letter from Mr Kemp, Assistant Headteacher
My name is Mr Kemp and I will be delighted to welcome you all to Sandringham School in September! Alongside other members of staff I will soon be contacting all of your teachers at your primary schools and can’t wait to hear a plethora of brilliant things about all of the students joining us. I am sure the Class of 2021 will be the best year group that Sandringham has ever had!
The process of preparing for starting at Sandringham begins during April when I, and other staff will visit your primary schools to meet our class of 2022 and their teachers.
Some Key Dates you need to know:
- New Year 7 Induction Evening : Monday July 4th – Communication letter with start times has been sent to families/carers.
- New Year 7 Transition Day: Thursday July 14th – More information to follow.
Further information on transition for our new Years 7’s will be released soon. Please do check back for updates.
With best wishes,
Mr Kemp
‘All About Me’ Survey
As we begin the process, we would like to know as much about our new students as we possibly can, in order to facilitate an enjoyable transition for all involved. Please complete the ‘All About Me’ survey via the link below. Over the next half term, Mr Kemp will be visiting all primary schools to meet Y6 teachers and students. During the visits, Mr Kemp will provide information about the transition timeline, about what it is like to be a Sandringham School student, and provide an opportunity for students to speak about what might be worrying them about their move to secondary school.

Moving on: Learning Resource Centre – Suggested Reads
We would like you to use this list during the summer to read at least one of the books or hopefully more during the holidays. You can, of course, read other books by the same author on this list. We look forward to talking about them with you when you arrive at school in September.
We really enjoy receiving recommendations from students, so if we do not have your favourite book, please let us know and we may be able to buy it for the Library.
Some books are also available in eBook format via our VLe Books website (see MySandstorm under “Library”) once you start school.
For your information you will be given time during lessons to visit the Library regularly and you will also need a fiction book to read during registration periods.
We hope that you enjoy the stories you choose to read, and we look forward to meeting you in September when you become a member of our Learning Resource Centre.
