Transition to Settle College
At Settle College we know some students (and parents!) will feel apprehensive about transition to secondary school.
We will be updating this page as we approach transition, with useful information for our incoming students and their parents.
We’re really looking forward to meeting you!
Using our Virtual Tour below, you can explore the school remotely!

Transfer Evening Presentation
Summer School:
We are delighted to announce we will once again be running our popular Summer School for year 6 students in summer 2025.
This is a valuable opportunity run by our own staff, allowing our prospective Year 7's to meet new friends, familiarise themselves with the school site and some of the staff, and ask questions about what to expect in September. Students can choose to attend specific days if they don’t want to commit to a full week, although we often find that they enjoy themselves so much, they end up asking to stay!
Here are some letters written by Year 6's about their experience at Summer School:
