Transferring from Primary to secondary school can sometimes be stressful and daunting. At Madani Boys School we aim to make this process as smooth as possible so that your child will find this process as exciting and stress free as possible.

During the Spring term, staff from Madani Boys School will visit students in their primary school. Staff will be able to talk to year 6 pupils about the transition process and answer any questions that may arise about the transition process and starting secondary school.

On Tuesday 2nd July 2024 & Wednesday 3rd July 2024 of year 6, your child will attend Madani Boys School for two days to experience school life, meet their new form tutor and fellow tutees.

We would be pleased to hear from any parent of a year 6 child who may have some questions or concerns about the process by emailing queries to Transition@madani.leicester.sch.uk

Year 6 | Prospective Transition Arrangements | Madani Boys/Girls School | 2024-25 Entry

Dear Parent/Carer and Future Madani Student,

It is with great pleasure that I write to you about our Madani Transition arrangements as we welcome you to our learning community. You are joining one of the most oversubscribed and best performing schools in the city in both academic and pastoral measures.

The transition from primary to secondary school is a landmark moment in your life - the move to a new school, with new teachers, staff, routines, surroundings and friends is an exciting time. However, feedback from young people and parents/ carers nationally informs us that transition can also be challenging, involve a period of adaptation and for some a degree of anxiety.

Our aim is to work together to ensure that your child is ready to start their five-year journey in August and enjoy a worry-free summer holiday, happy and confident to return as a Madani student.

You will get the chance to view a tour of Madani and meet our Head Teacher. Watch the clips to find out more about your new School.

2) Transition Booklet – you should receive this Week Beginning Monday 10th June 2024. Please click here download the Transition Booklet 2024

Make sure you watch the Transition video to help you complete this! This will introduce you to life at Madani, to your new school ‘House’– and our Values - what does HEART actually mean? Try to complete as much as possible for Transition Day.

3) Head of House Parent Drop In – Parents can book in to a MS Teams video call with any of our Heads of House. MS Teams video calls will be available from 17th June 2024

We want to hear from you (Parents/Carers) and have created the opportunity for you to share any information about your child or ask any questions you may have. This will also give you the opportunity to share the exciting things your child is looking forward to when joining Madani. Don’t forget to ask any questions or discuss any worries you may have.

MS Teams video will not need booking in advance. The letter with links will be attached for your information.

Remember to have your completed Transition Booklet as much as possible. If you are stuck with some of the information that's also a great time to ask us for the answers.
