Transition

Moving up from year 6

We work to ensure a smooth and worry-free start for our new Year 7 scholars and therefore have a carefully designed programme of transition activities which begins as soon as we receive our list of pupils on March 1^st each year:

• A welcome message to parents / carers from the Principal in March.
• An invitation to visit the school in March.
• Inviting small groups to visit us with year 6 teachers in April or May.
• More short visits for those with additional needs.
• Our staff visiting our allocated pupils in their schools. We with staff in your child’s primary school to find out a little more about each of our new scholars so we can make sure we have all the information we need to enable a successful start for your child.
• A full induction day in late June or early July for all scholars joining us.
• An induction evening for parents.
• Letters from our scholars to year 6 pupils.
• Welcome message from our scholars on our website.
• Sending out a Guide to Brook Mead Academy from our scholars.

Our Transition Programme ensures new scholars feel happy, settled and secure from their very first day at secondary school.
