Answer: This September (2010) current Year 4 pupils will not transfer to middle schools but will remain in their primary schools as Year 5 pupils. Current Year 5, 6 & 7 Middle school pupils will stay at their middle schools in September 2010 as Year 6, 7 & 8 pupils – they will be the last to attend middle schools which will close in August 2011. Parents of current Year 8 pupils should have already received an offer of a Year 9 high school place for September 2010. In September 2011 the previous Year 5 pupils will again remain in their primary schools, now as Year 6 pupils. Pupils who were in middle school as Year 8 in 2010/11 will apply for a Year 9 place at the new secondary schools just as they would have done for a place at high school. Those pupils who were in Year 6 & 7 at middle school in 2010/11 will be allocated a place at a specified secondary school, now as year 7& 8 pupils. The allocated schools are shown in the table (Below). Parents always have the right to express a preference for other schools that have places available. Pupils at Christ the King are not affected by these changes, they will remain there and move up a year each September. The first new Year 7 entry to Christ the King will be September 2012.
