Transition to secondary school

Our school offers a unique bilingual curriculum preparing pupils to continue their educational journey in the UK, in Italy or in international schools with remarkable results.

Destination schools

All our Y6 pupils who took the 11+ exams in 2021 and 2022 passed them successfully and have been accepted by their first choice school, among which are Francis Holland School, Regent’s Park, Queen’s Gate School, Kensington Park School, Fulham Prep School and Maida Vale School.

Nonetheless we believe that success is more than academic achievement and is about every child realising and being supported in reaching their full potential.

Our Headteacher hosts an annual presentation on the transition to secondary school to give guidance on the application process and support parents in identifying a selection of appropriate schools for their children.

"We can never repay the gratitude we feel towards SIAL.school for the care and education the staff provided to our child. His great successes have in large part been because of this incredible school. The individual attention given to each child is huge and is key to identifying and developing talents and strengths. Our son left SIAL.school academically prepared, but more importantly, imbued with the school’s values and ready to take on new challenges with self-confidence and resilience. He is now attending an outstanding secondary school, but he still looks back at his time at SIAL.school with joy and gratitude."

Moving your child during primary school
