The Transition Team
Miss Yañez - Assistant Headteacher, SENCO and Transition Lead
My name is Miss Yañez and I am very excited to meet you soon before you join us at St. Peter’s in September! My role is to make sure that the transition for all pupils joining us goes as smoothly as possible and to provide any additional support to those who may be feeling a bit nervous or worried about the move from primary school to secondary. In my role as SENDCo, I work closely with St. Peter’s pupils, their parents and carers and their teachers to ensure that any pupils with additional learning needs have the best support and experience possible.
Miss Galligan – Head of Year 7
Hello! My name is Miss Galligan and I will be your Head of Year for your time at St Peter’s. I am looking forward to meeting you all and getting to know you all as individuals. I will be in charge of the year group, and this means that I will support and guide you along the way. My job will be to make sure that you are settled and happy but that you are always behaving and working to the best of your ability and to the high standards that we uphold here at St Peter’s.
