ESF Pathways,
as published for 2026/27.

This archived edition is based on the official Transition from Kindergarten to Primary School Parent Kit (June 2025). It records five kindergartens, nine primaries, five secondaries and two all-through colleges. The 2026/27 guide shows a collective kindergarten-to-primary transition, without individual kindergarten links.

Reading this archive

This page preserves the information in ESF’s 2026/27 Parent Kit. Do not infer individual kindergarten placements: the PDF depicts one collective transition arrow only.

Kindergarten transition

The guide depicts one collective transition from the kindergarten group to the primary group, without naming individual links.

Primary to secondary

Eleven guaranteed routes connect the nine primary schools and two all-through colleges to their next phase.

Published place ranges

Student-place figures are retained as ranges exactly as published, not converted to fixed capacities.

All-through colleges

Discovery College and Renaissance College are shown as all-through schools (Y1–Y13).

Kindergarten-to-primary routes on this page are intentionally not assigned to individual schools. The 2026/27 Parent Kit also lists places as ranges; school profile figures not present in the kit are marked as not listed.

The pathway, end to end

The diagram distinguishes the single collective KG→Primary transition from the eleven published guaranteed P→S routes. Select a node to highlight its associated onward route.

Hover a ribbon, a school ring, or a row to trace a pathway. Click to pin it.

    Ribbon width = classes per grade at Year 7 entry. All-through colleges carry their own internal progression. Figures are estimates derived from published classes-per-grade, not ESF transition counts.

    Questions parents ask

    Clarifications about the scope and figures in this archived edition.

    Does this archive show individual kindergarten-to-primary links?
    No. The 2026/27 Parent Kit depicts one collective arrow from kindergarten to primary; it does not publish individual school links.
    Are school place figures exact totals?
    No. The Parent Kit expresses places as ranges. This archive preserves those ranges; chart bars use midpoints only for visual comparison.
    Is this the current ESF pathway site?
    No. This is an archived 2026/27 edition. The current 2027/28 site is linked in the archive banner.
