Year 6 Transition

To all of the Year 6 students who will join us in September, their parents, carers and families: Welcome to Wey Valley Academy! Please do take a moment to read and view all the information on this website and Transition webpage.

At Wey Valley, we are working closely with our primary schools to ensure students’ progression to secondary school is successful. This page on our website will introduce you to Wey Valley Academy, our staff and our school. We hope it helps you to get an idea of what the next stage of your education will look like.

We know that starting secondary school is an exciting time for students. It can also be a daunting one at the same time for you and your parents… try not worry – we will support you along the way! We have a dedicated team in place to support you and make your time at Wey Valley a happy and successful one.

Our Transition team are already having discussions with all the Primary schools to find out as much information as possible about our new students so that we can plan for your arrival in September. After half term, you will be spending the day with us on your Transition Day; we will be sending out more details about this after half-term. We also look forward to meeting your parents/carers that same evening for our Parents’ Information evening.

We carefully place students in tutor groups based on the information we receive from our primary schools. There will be a survey link on this webpage where you can tell us all about yourself, and you can tell us who your friends are.

Year 7 at Wey Valley will sometimes be hard work but it is also a lot of fun! Throughout the year, we will plan to run trips & events where you can get to know each other better and explore a whole range of extra-curricular opportunities.
