Parent/Carer Virtual Transition Day

Welcome to Whalley Range 11-18 High School.

We know the last few months have been an uncertain and challenging time for everyone, but we are working very hard to make sure the school is ready to welcome your daughter, as a new Year 7 student in September.

We strive to work as a team with our parents and carers, and the resources on this page are designed to support you to prepare your daughter for life at Whalley Range and to answer any of the questions you may have. If you have any further questions please contact the school and we will find the answer for you.
