Transition

We are a local authority school in Farnborough, committed to inclusive education within a vibrant, ambitious, dedicated learning environment.

At Cove School there are highly qualified, specialist teachers in all curriculum areas ready and eager to deliver a broad and deep learning experience for your child.  We pride ourselves on creating a learning environment where every child feels happy, secure, cared for and respected.

Cove School gives a warm welcome to pupils, staff and visitors. Senior leaders and governors set high standards. Staff care about the pupils and do not give up on them

In order to give families an informed choice about the next step and show off our school to the local community, we hold a number of Open Mornings and an Open Evening in the first few weeks of the Autumn Term.

New Intake Information
​
We are excited to welcome our new cohort of Year 7's in September 2025. If a student has been offered and accepts their place at Cove School, a transition pack will be sent to each family in the Spring Term with key information and online forms for completing which will need to be completed prior to the end of the current academic year.

Our transition team will visit with our feeder junior schools. During this time, they will meet with your child and their teachers and begin to build a learning profile, ascertain any support required and establish who is in their friendship groups. If your child is joining us from a school outside of the catchment area, then the transition team will contact these schools directly by phone or Microsoft Teams, to discuss any needs they may have.

Parent Information Evening | 26th June 2025
