The fourth in the six-year cycle, Transition Year promotes the personal, social, educational and vocational development of the student.  Its aims are threefold; an education toward maturity, an education through experience of adult and working life and a promotion of general, technical and academic skills.

It is an integrated and exciting part of the school curriculum, providing opportunities for students to explore and develop their interests and career options.  The year includes work experience, student exchange, life skills, and a wide curriculum including modules in car mechanics, media studies, woodwork, arts and crafts, Celtic studies, computers and home economics.
