Secondary Transfer
Torridon children move on to a range of different secondary schools when they leave us. Some go to Lewisham secondary schools as well as Bromley, Greenwich and Southwark and other London boroughs. A small number of children also move on to selective grammar schools. You must apply to the local authority which you pay your council tax to.
Lewisham: Secondary Transfer process and all the required forms can be found on the London Borough of Lewisham website.
Each year, year 6 parents are invited to attend a meeting in school about secondary transfer. The process is explained in full and secondary school brochures are available for parents to view.
