Starting Secondary School

Brilliant schools give young people the great start in life they deserve. Secondary schools are still finalising their plans around open days. The brochure “Starting secondary school in Southwark 2023/24” does not include any dates, so you will have to check for updates on school websites.

Before you choose your school, please take some time to look at school brochures and websites and also to look at the”most recent Ofsted” of the school/s you are considering for your child/ren.
