Welcome to Kettlethorpe High School!

Moving from primary school to Kettlethorpe High School is an exciting time and one we hope you are looking forward to. We are working closely with your primary school and Year 6 teacher to collect the information we need to ensure your transition to Kettlethorpe High School is as smooth as possible.

We hope that within this section of our school website, you will find lots of information that will help you prepare for your learning journey and help you to feel confident that you know more about the next steps. We hope you find this information useful and look forward to showing you what your new school has to offer.

Our main communication will be via email and Class Charts, we will share details of this later in the summer term. Please ensure we have an up to date email address and contact information. Please view our Guide for Parents and Guide for Pupils here.

Induction Day

We hold our induction day on Thursday 3rd July before you leave primary school. During the day, pupils will experience ‘taster’ lessons, meet their new form tutor/group, and have lunch.

On the evening of Thursday 3 July, parents/carers will have a chance to meet their children’s form tutors too. This will take place as a face to face event at our school. Following a short presentation from the tutors, you will have an opportunity to ask any questions. Please note that pupils or siblings should not attend this event.
