It’s generally possible to move schools in Year 9, but the feasibility depends on various factors such as school policies, available spaces, and local education authorities. Contact the desired school promptly to inquire about vacancies and the transfer process. Timeliness is crucial to facilitate a smooth transition.
Moving schools in Year 11 could potentially be challenging due to the crucial nature of this academic year, with important exams and coursework. Consider the potential impact on grades and well-being before deciding, and consult with educators and your guardian / your child for guidance. Each student is completely unique in terms of capability, personality, and their academic goals – some may react well with the change, others may struggle. We recommend that you sit down and draw up a list of pros and cons, concluding on the best course of action. Greene’s is always available for consultation; contact us here.
Switching schools for Year 13 (final year of sixth form) is possible but may pose challenges like adapting to a new environment and curriculum. Ensure the receiving school can accommodate your academic needs, and consider potential impacts on university applications. Timely communication with both schools is vital for a smooth transition.
