The majority of our children transfer to ‘Windmills’ in the September following their seventh birthday from Hassocks Infants School. Both schools liaise closely to ensure the transition is a smooth one. There are opportunities for Infant children and their parents to visit ‘Windmills’ prior to September and to deal with any worries or difficulties that they may have.

Pupils transfer to secondary school in the September following their eleventh birthday. The majority of pupils transfer to Downlands Community School with whom we share a campus. Liaison between the two schools is very close, and visits to Downlands, and other secondary schools, for both parents and children are arranged to ensure a smooth transition.
