Making the transition from primary to secondary education can seem a daunting prospect for many young people. At Freebrough Academy we aim to support students every step of the way. We work closely with our primary schools to ensure that students have the opportunity to take part in events at the Academy throughout Key Stage 2. We also provide expert teaching, which can be delivered in the primary school itself, to support the delivery of specialist subjects.
We’d like to say welcome to our Year 6 students who will be joining us in September!
By integrating the Year 6 students into the Academy at the end of the summer term rather than the start of the autumn we aim to enable students to:
During early transition students will take part in a variety of activities but will also follow their Year 7 timetable and will, therefore, get a flavour of their subjects.
More information about primary transition is available at our Year 5/6 Open Evening for prospective students and parents and our Transition Evenings for those have gained a place at Freebrough Academy each year.
