Summer School
Jul 24 – Jul 27 all-day

The academy will be running its annual Transition Summer School in the first full week of the summer holidays, Monday 24th July to Thursday 27rd July, from 9:30am to 3:00pm each day.  This will be open to all current Year 6 pupils who are joining us in September.  There will be a cost of £40 in total for the summer school, though pupils who are eligible for Pupil Premium will not be charged. The charge has been necessitated by a reduction in funding from central government, which comes into effect this year and is required to help us meet some though not all of the cost which we incur.
 
We intend to provide a wide range of activities to give pupils a taste of secondary school life and to offer an opportunity to familiarise them with some of our staff and facilities.  There will be a range of subjects on offer and learning will be delivered through fun activities, rather than formal lessons. Pupils who request a place must commit to attending on all four days.
 
Further details and confirmation will be sent out later in the summer term.
