Dear Parent/Carer

Firstly, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of the plans for the two transition days that we have planned for your child. The dates for the transition days are Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th July.

Transition Days

Your child is invited to attend on both of the transition days. Primary schools are aware of these dates and are expecting your child to be with us during this time.

  • They are to arrive at 9am via the gates on Whitby Road, opposite the St Thomas Church on both days.
  • They will finish at 2:45pm and will exit from the same gate.
  • Children should arrive in their primary school uniform.
  • Lunch will be provided for all pupils on both days.
  • They will need to bring a water bottle with them for the day.

Induction Evening

We would like to invite you to the Induction Evening on Thursday 4th July at 6:00pm. You will enter the building through the main entrance at the front of the building.

During the evening you will get to meet our team, including your child’s form tutor. We will also provide valuable information to ensure that the transition process is smooth as possible for both yourself and your child.

Data Collection

Prior to your child starting with us in September, please complete and return the enclosed data collection pack either by post to the school address above or by bringing it with you to the Induction evening on 4th July.

Also, if your child is eligible for Free School meals.  Please inform benefits that they will be attending The Ellesmere Port Church of England College from September 2024.  You can contact them via telephone on 03001237039 or email benefits@ cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk.

Throughout the transition process, we want to be able to answer questions, address any concerns from pupils and parents/carers and ensure that all pupils are ready, prepared, confident and excited for their first day in September. You can email transition@epcollege.org at any time with questions that you would like an answer to.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely

MRS C GREEN

Principal
