Hello and a Warm Welcome to all our prospective new students and families!
If you’re in Year 6 and thinking about joining Sponne School, we’re so excited you’re here!
Moving from primary school to secondary school is a big step, but it’s also the start of a new chapter and the start of something amazing. We are here to help you every step of the way. Whether you’re feeling excited, nervous, curious, or a bit of everything, this is all completely normal and we have lots of support in place to help you with the change.
At Sponne School you’ll discover new subjects, make new friends, be offered a host of enhancement activities, become more independent and be part of a school that will support and inspire you every step of the way.
What Happens Next?
Year 6 Open Evening
We will be hosting a Year 6 Open Evening on Thursday 2nd October. During the evening you will be taken on a tour of our school and of our subjects by a 6th form guide. They will be able to answer all your questions about what life is like here at Sponne School as a student and our subject teachers will give you a taste of what you will experience in their subjects during your time at Sponne School.
There is also an opportunity for parents to book an appointment with our SEN Co to discuss how Sponne School could support any special educational needs.
Both the Year 6 Open Evening Tour and the SEN Co appointment need to be pre-booked, and bookings can be made via the following links:

Year 6 Induction Days
Once you have been offered a place at Sponne School, we will be in touch to let you know about the next steps and some key information.
Our team will visit you at your primary school during the summer term to talk to you about Sponne School, answer any questions you have and also to meet with your teachers. We will then invite you to your Year 6 Induction Days.
The Year 6 Induction Days will be on Thursday 9th July and Friday 10th July 2026.
You will spend the two days with us here at Sponne School when you will meet your form tutor and the rest of your form group and, together with your form, experience a range of different subjects, to give you a feel for what life is like here at Sponne School.
