During the transition journey, we will provide a series of events and opportunities for you and your child to find out more about the College. In 2025, these commence with Open Day on Wednesday 26 March followed by the ‘Discover CMCB’ Days and exploring our virtual resources online.
Throughout the transition process, we endeavour to collect as much information as possible about your child’s learning and social needs, before they begin secondary school.
