Transition from Primary

Welcome to John O’Gaunt

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and this section on Transition, for those joining us in September 2025.  We are a school where every child can thrive and receive the broad and high-quality education you would expect of any secondary school, and where children are truly known and really cared for.  As a member of the Excalibur Academies Trust, our school is part of a strong network and one which puts the children they serve at the heart of the school community. We strive to carefully cultivate an environment which encourages independent learners whose individual potential can be realised.

• Every child should feel happy and safe in school
• Every child is challenged to exceed their own expectations
• Every child has access to a wide range of additional learning experiences
• Every child should have high standards of ethical behaviour and respect other’s differences
• Every child should feel secure that there are people here to help if they’re having a tough time

We believe that John O’Gaunt School provides a challenging, yet nurturing learning experience for all its students. We hope you find the information here useful. Of course, if you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Kind regards
