King Edward VII School Sixth Form Transition
Welcome to our Transition Programme 2024
We look forward to welcoming students to King Edward VII School for a transition day on either Monday 24th or Tuesday 25th June. More details will be sent directly to students with offers of places, including which day you will be invited in. On the day you will have two taster lessons as well as meeting some key staff.

These are the resources for each of your chosen subjects provided by your teachers for a virtual ‘Transition Day’
