“Years 7 & 8 at Twyford: More Than Just a Transition.”

These two years are a vital bridge between childhood and senior school—a time for pupils to build resilience, confidence, and independence in a supportive environment. It’s about more than just academics; it’s about shaping well-rounded individuals who are ready to take on new experiences with self-assurance.

Our Twyford Charter provides a carefully structured journey, ensuring pupils mature at their own pace, surrounded by a strong pastoral system and a familiar support network. By giving them these extra years in a protective yet empowering setting, we equip them with the skills, mindset, and confidence to thrive in the next stage of their education - and beyond.
