Your Guide to Primary Education in Leicestershire

During the last year of your son/daughter’s primary education, preparation for transfer to their next stage of learning takes place.

Teachers will have organised visits and consultations for those pupils and parents transferring within the school ‘family’.

Details of availability of places and fees can be obtained by telephoning the Headteacher of the appropriate school/college.
