Y6 Transition

TRANSITION DAYS 2025

As part of our programme to support Year 6 students with their transition to our school, we would like to invite your child to join us for two full days on Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th July 2025.

Induction Days

Monday 7th July 8.55am to 2.55pm

Tuesday 8th July 8.55am to 2.55pm

During these two days, all the students joining us in Year 7 in September will visit us at Christ the King to experience a range of lessons, have some time to meet staff and students as well as orientate themselves to the school. Students should arrive promptly at school for 8.55am.

Please ensure that students wear their current school uniform and bring a pencil case containing a pen, pencil and ruler. Students who require medication during the day should hand them in to a member of staff with an accompanying letter from home. Students should bring a packed lunch, a drink and a snack for break times on both days as food will not be available to buy from school. Free school meals will be provided for those students that currently receive a free school meal; please can you inform us if you would like us to provide a meal for both lunchtimes, if you meet this criteria.

Students who will be catching a school bus in September will be able to catch the school bus on the two induction days; please provide them with the correct bus fare and ensure that they know their travel arrangements for travelling to and from school on these days. If they are travelling by school bus or public transport, they will need to know which bus to catch, where and when to catch it and also how much bus fare they will need.

If you are planning on dropping your child at school and then collecting them at the end of the day, please do so at the designated times to avoid congestion with our current students.

Parents’ Information Meeting – Monday 1st July 4.00pm to 5.00pm

This meeting will be an opportunity for you to meet school staff and to receive information on a variety of issues, including what will happen on the first day of school in September and also information on school uniform and school buses. Please note that parking is limited, so if you wish to attend the meeting, please park with consideration for our neighbours in the surrounding area.

Free School Meals

The Free School Meals scheme provides eligible students with not only a nutritious free lunch every day, but also support towards uniform, school trips and other enrichment activities, guaranteeing that every student can thrive in their education.

We encourage all families to register, regardless of whether you believe you may be eligible. Even if your child prefers to bring a packed lunch, it is still beneficial to register for the Free School Meals scheme as by doing so, our school receives £1,000 in funding, which is reinvested into your child’s education through additional teaching resources.

It is remarkable to consider that 300,000 children in the UK that are eligible for Free School Meals do not utilise this entitlement, potentially due to the stigma associated with it. However, CTK have implemented systems to ensure that students receiving FSM are not identified by their peers. Payments are directly credited to the students’ personal accounts, enabling them to make payments seamlessly by scanning their cards, just as all other students do.

To apply, please click here

We use Nottinghamshire County Council for verification of FSM eligibility.

You will be asked a series of questions to ascertain your eligibility – this is a very quick process and will only take a few minutes of your time.

Please email office@christtheking.notts.sch.uk when you have applied. This will allow us to chase up any applications if necessary.

You can expect an email from Nottinghamshire County Council with the outcome of the eligibility check, and once approved, meal credits are automatically added to students accounts which ensures privacy and discretion.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email office@christtheking.notts.sch.uk

Music Tuition

We would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to the Our Lady of Lourdes Music Service. Over the past 12 years we have delivered instrumental and whole class music lessons to over 7,500 students ranging from years 3-13. As a Trust, music plays a huge part in our everyday life across our Academy supporting Masses, Primary Concerts, Secondary events, Musicals, Music Tours and a celebratory Multi Academy Concert each year.

We offer weekly group, shared and single Instrumental Lessons throughout the academic year, rotating or set around student timetables so the same lessons are not missed each week. We may be able to accommodate 30-minute lessons by prior arrangement, either before, during breaks and after school.

As we are a non-profitable Academy Trust, lesson prices are always highly competitive and the best around the County. Fees are paid by credit card once you have signed up online – please see the pricing structure below. Hire of most instruments is available for a small fee. A half term’s notice is required if your child wishes to stop lessons.
