We will endeavour to visit students in their primary school before they join us. During the Summer term Mr Carpenter, our Assistant Principal (responsible for transition), and other key staff will be visiting Primary schools to hand out information and deliver a welcome presentation. Our pastoral staff will meet with primary school staff during this time to ensure all information is shared for a smooth and happy transition.
We look forward to meeting parents on the evening of Wednesday 26th June or Thursday 27th June, depending on which site their child is allocated, as well as welcoming students into the Academy for the two induction days the following week. This is a great opportunity for the students to experience Academy life and our expectations, whilst receiving an insight into lessons and taking part in some fun activities. By the end of the induction days, students should feel more confident about joining in September and will have made many new friends.
As part of the transition process, the optional Transition Programme will be held in the week commencing 12th August 2024, there is a cost for this and it can be booked via https://thebigstep.org In a survey by The Big Step, our Summer School providers, 99% of parents agreed that their child felt more confident about secondary school after attending and 97% of parents agreed their child made new friends.
We very much look forward to meeting you and working with your young person/s very soon!
