Moving Up From Junior School

These pages give lots of useful information about how we manage the transition for pupils moving from junior school to Sprowston Community High and what pupils can expect when they get here.

Visit the About Us section for information on the Sprowston Community High uniform requirements.

• New rules to learn.
• A full and new school uniform.
