Transition to Greenfields
Year 3 Admissions
All Year 2 pupils moving from Oakwood or another infant school will need to apply for a place at Greenfields Junior School through Hampshire School Admissions by the date given.
Year 3 applications open on 1st November 2025. The deadline for applications is 15th January 2026. The notification date for on-time applicants is 16th April 2026.
We are holding two open events for parents of children due to start Year 3 in September 2026:
Tuesday 11th November at 2pm - click here to book
Tuesday 18th November at 9.15am - click here to book
At Greenfields we know how important it is for your child to feel safe, happy and secure when they make the transition from infants to juniors.
We, therefore, work hard to build early relationships and start to get to know your child as soon as possible. As part of the Green Oaks Federation, our Oakwood children will have had the opportunity to visit Greenfields for shared events and will already be familiar with the school. Once you have accepted a place at Greenfields your child will be invited into school in the summer term to take part in our full transition programme.
This includes:
| Date | Session | Information |
| w/c 9th June | Welcome! | The transition conversation starts! Mr May presents a Welcome to Greenfields short assembly to each Year 2 class with the help of some Year 3's. |
| 9th - 20th June | Getting to know you | During these two weeks, our Year 3 teachers for next year will be visiting our Year 2 classes to start to get to know all of the Year 2 children. They still won't know who their teacher is until the 25th June. |
|
25th & 26th June 9.30 - 11.30 am |
First Steps! | Children spend two mornings with their new class teacher. Children will also begin new books which they will take through to their new class in September. |
|
30th June 3.30 - 4.00 pm |
Take a Tour | After the First Steps! Transition event, parents are invited to pop along to Greenfields after school with their child to be shown around the classroom and say 'Hello' to the class teacher. |
| w/c 30th June | Show Time! | Year 2's are invited to watch the Year 6 production (dress rehearsal). |
| w/c 8th September | Meet the Teacher & Coffee Morning | Meet the Teacher briefings provide informal opportunities for you and your child to visit their classroom, introduce yourself, hear from their class teacher about the year ahead and pass on any important information. There will also be a chance to meet the Leadership Team and find out more about the plans for the school. |
We also have an additional transition programme for any of our children who we know may find the move from Oakwood to Greenfields challenging. These visits take place in small groups and are supported by our Green Oaks Inclusion team.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Greenfields and hope that you and your family form a long and happy association with us.
