Key Stage 4 – 5 Transition

 We are confident that all pupils, by the end of Key Stage 4, at St Thomas More Catholic School have had an excellent educational experience which has ensured they are very well equipped for the next stage of their education, training or employment.  We work with pupils to ensure whatever route they decide to take is the right one for them.  The processes we use are similar to those between Key Stage 3 to 4 to ensure pupils are given the opportunity to talk to experience staff.
