Challney High School

Transition

Transferring to secondary school is an important milestone in a student’s life and we have a well-established programme which makes the transition from primary to secondary school as smooth as possible for students.

If your daughter is given a place at Challney High School for Girls, you will be invited to a Welcome Evening in March/April of the academic year where key dates/information will be shared with you. 

Following this, students will have:

  • 2 transition days (full days at Challney High School for Girls)
  • 1 transition evening for parents/carers and students
  • A visit from their Head of Year & Assistant Head of Year (to their primary school)

During the summer, students will have the opportunity to complete the Be Awesome, Go Challney project which will introduce them to new subjects, activities and challenges, all designed to give them a flavour of work in Year 7.

Chromebooks for Learning

We are delighted to announce the introduction of a chromebooks for learning scheme for our pupils at Challney High School for Girls. This scheme was introduced in September 2023 for students in year 7, 8 and 9 and will be rolled out across the entire school by September 2025.

If your child is joining Challney High School for Girls in Year 7 in September 2024 or is currently in years 7-9, you will be given the opportunity to purchase a chromebook as part of our chromebooks for learning scheme in the Summer Term 2024.

Full information will be circulated to all students and their parents over the coming months, but for now you can find out some information about the scheme using the resources below.

At Challney High School for Girls we already use technology across every area of the curriculum and the chromebooks for learning scheme will enable us to further develop this so that pupils are prepared for life in a world where digital literacy is increasingly important.  Blending the use of technology with traditional teaching methods enhances the school experience for students and enables innovative learning to take place. As a Google Workspace for Education school Chromebooks enable us to maximise the use of tools available to us to create engaging, collaborative, accessible and efficient learning experiences for students.  Having a device available for every student will facilitate this both within the classroom and beyond.

The Chromebook Portal will open on 24th May and close on 8th July.  Orders can only be placed between these dates.
