Werkrealschule/Hauptschule - register child for admission
At the end of the first semester of grade 4, the teachers make a recommendation for each child. In this recommendation, the teachers explain which type of secondary school the child should attend after primary school. This primary school recommendation is based on an overall pedagogical assessment. This takes into account
- the child's previous learning and performance development,
- the child's learning and working behaviour and
- learning potential.
The decision of the class conference on the primary school recommendation takes place after the information and counselling sessions of the school with you about the intended school career choice.
The primary school recommendation is sent to the children together with the half-yearly information for class 4.
You as the parent or guardian decide which type of secondary school your child will attend. The decision is binding for the school administration.
