Early Transition

Early Transition from Primary School to Freebrough Academy

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:

- Become familiar with the building

- Get to know their teachers and tutor groups

- Make new friends

- Understand our expectations and rules

- Overcome any anxiety they may feel about coming to the academy

- Make an effective start in September to ensure maximum progression

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.

What our new year 7 parents have told us:

94% of parents felt that early transition had helped their child to settle in well or very well

98% of parents felt that early transition had been a worthwhile experience

“My child has enjoyed all aspects of the induction and has made many new friends.”

“Early transition has been the best thing Freebrough have ever done!”
