Transition Testimonials - What did our new Year 7 parents say?
- "As a DAD, seeing my daughter begin Year 7 has been a very special and emotional milestone. I’m truly grateful to Chislehurst School for Girls for making her transition so warm, positive and reassuring. It has been wonderful to see her growing in confidence, coming home happy and excited about her new journey."
- "I thought the party atmosphere of the summer school was excellent and really helped the children relax and make friends."
- "Really well organised. Very kind staff. The older girls have been lovely both to me and my daughter. My daughter has a medical condition, and everyone knew what to do with her equipment and knew her details. I didn't feel uncomfortable leaving her at all. She is loving secondary school and is so far delighted to go in each day, if a little tired!"
- "I've been most impressed and it has firmly reaffirmed that we made the right choice to place our daughter at CHSFG! She has settled in so quickly and easily, it's been as positive an experience as we could have asked for - thank you for working hard to make it so."
- "I am delighted with how the transition has been handled. My daughter was the only girl from her primary school to start at CSFG and I feel that the Onesie Day was a fantastic way to help her make some new friends and look forward to her first day. We are so happy with how she has settled so far. Thank you."
- "Overall good communication and reminders. Thank you. I feel like you've created a really supportive environment for their first week. Some of your Year 9's have been looking out for the younger ones. Great role models for the Y7's."
- "To me your level of communication was perfect. Keeping us up to date and informed is something that not many schools provide to new students and parents. It is a great first experience of the efficiency of the school team."
- "Throughout transition, we have been very impressed how easy CSFG has made moving schools. I struggle to find any constructive criticism!"

Top Ten Tips for New Year 7 Pupils
- Making Friends - Smile at people, get involved, join clubs - remember, everyone feels the same.
- Map of the School - Keep the map that is in the student handbook, it will come in useful.
- Getting Lost - Older girls are always helpful and friendly and will show you where to go.
- Being Late - Leave yourself plenty of time to get to school in the morning, and in-between lessons.
- Practice your journey to School - If you practice your bus route beforehand, you will know exactly how long it takes.
- Phones - The school has a strict no mobile phones policy. Mobiles may be brought to school but may not be used at all on school site.
- Homework - Be organised and write down any homework that is set in your planner in detail, so when you get home, you know exactly what you have to do and when it is due to be handed in. You can also log into Show my Homework to see homework that has been set. Password information will be sent out in September.
- Get plenty of sleep - School is tiring, you will be exhausted if you have not had a good night's sleep.
- Don't worry - Don't stress about the little things, they are never as bad as they seem.
- Have fun - Making new friends and facing new challenges is all part of the experience of Secondary School. So, enjoy it.
