Year 6 into 7 Transition (2024)

Welcome to Mossley Hollins High School

We want the transition from primary school to secondary school to be as smooth as possible. We hope the information contained in this area of the website will assist parents, carers and pupils who will be joining us in September this year.

Free School Meals

Due to changes related to the introduction of Universal Credit, any pupil who may be eligible or is currently receiving Free School Meals will need to apply / re-apply via the gateway. Please could you apply at your earliest convenience as without a completed successful application the school will be unable to provide a free school meal. Apply for free school meals.

SchoolGateway

We would like to inform you about School Gateway– a parent engagement app that will allow you to communicate with the school and view your child’s PRIDE and NUHOPE data and academic reports at anytime from anywhere. In the near future, you will also be able to pay for items such as locker deposits, school trips, dinner money, music lessons and more.

Most school related communication, newsletters, timetables and attendance figures go through School Gateway.

To stay up to date with what is going on at school make sure you download the app free. Just search School Gateway in your App store and download or take a look at the guide here
