Primary choice is partly a transfer-horizon decision. Six records in this guide can carry a child through a published senior route, two currently stop before a final school credential, three are primary specialists and one is early-years only. Compare the curriculum transition, age ceiling and next-school plan alongside fees and commute.

A good primary fit can still create a difficult later transfer. The public age ceiling and leaving route belong in the shortlist now, even for a young child.

These twelve routes illustrate distinct transfer horizons; they are not the complete 29-record directory. Confirm the child's exact class, curriculum continuity, report format, support plan and next-school admissions requirements.
The hub contrasts six published full-through routes, Hastin's current Year 9 ceiling, Highgate's current Year 6 phase, three primary specialists and Kids Avenue's early-years-only route. It is a transfer-horizon guide rather than the complete 29-record directory.
Kids Avenue requires a primary move after age 6; ISC, Lovell and Belfry require a secondary move after Year 6; Highgate currently operates through Year 6; and Hastin currently publishes through Year 9. The six full-through examples publish later routes, but families should still verify the intended senior qualification and subjects.
ISC serves ages 2–11 and does not publish a prescribed secondary destination. Families must apply separately for Year 7 and compare admissions assessment, curriculum continuity, support and commute before choosing the next school.
