September Transition Information
At James Calvert Spence College (JCSC), we recognise that transitions are exciting, but can also cause some anxiety.
To support the transition process, we invite incoming pupils to join us for the day during our annual transition day.
This year our transition day is the 30th June 2025. This will provide an opportunity to meet your child’s new form tutor and make new friends within the year group.
In-year Transfer Information
Not all pupils join us in September and often transfer to us at other points throughout the year. Whatever point your child joins us we are committed to supporting them to manage the transition. Our team of PSOs will:
- meet you and your child
- provide a tour of the school
- liaise with previous school
- support you to complete all of the relevant documentation
- support with uniform

New build, new facilities
All students will benefit from the planned new build with extensive new facilities in Spring 2026, the current plans for the build can be viewed online on the planners website or by viewing our New Build webpage here.
In the meantime, we will ensure that students’ opportunities are not restricted and they will still get to enjoy a full and balanced curriculum, making the most of the fantastic facilities we already have.
