At Cannock Chase High School, we understand that the transition from primary to secondary school is a significant milestone for both students and families. Our Chase Ready programme is designed to ensure every child feels confident, informed, and excited about joining us in Year 7.

Here, you will find everything you need to prepare for this next step, including:

Chase Ready Days – dedicated days where students visit and begin building friendships and familiarity with the school environment.

Chase Ready Week – a full week of immersive activities during the summer holidays to ease the transition and build confidence before September.

Chase Ready Information Evening – an opportunity for parents and carers to meet key staff, ask questions, and understand our expectations and support systems.

Expert information from our students – hear directly from current Year 7 students about their experiences, tips, and what helped them feel ready.

FAQs – answers to common questions about starting at Cannock Chase High School.

Essential information – details about the school day, uniform expectations, and who to contact if you need support.

We are committed to making your child’s start at Chase as smooth, supportive, and inspiring as possible. Explore the resources on this page to ensure your family feels Chase Ready.
