Wellbeing and Useful Transition Links
The wellbeing of our school community is at the heart of our provision at Bishop Stopford. This is particularly pertinent in light of the COVID-19 crisis. The transition process can bring a mixture of excitement and worry for both you and your child. On the Student Portal, there are activities that you can do together to try and reduce anxieties that you may have. Below are some useful transition links for parents and children.
