Year 6 to Year 7 Transition

We are delighted that your son/daughter has been offered a place at Wellfield Academy for September 2024 and look forward to welcoming them fully to our school community. They will be joining us at a very exciting time in the development of our school, our school continues to go from strength to strength as the number of families choosing our school has significantly risen over recent years and we have now officially joined Endeavour Learning Trust. It is an exciting time to join Wellfield and it is a fantastic time for your son/daughter to join us.

The secondary school decision that a family makes is an important one. The number of families that have put us as first choice has more than trebled over the past three years, something which no doubt recognises the fantastic progress we have made as a school. One of the direct quotes from our Ofsted inspection is that ‘pupils are proud to attend Wellfield Academy’. The students will be the first to tell you how much they love their school and that they are looking forward to welcoming you into our community centred family.

We are aware that the transition to secondary school, whilst being very exciting for many, can sometimes be worrying for parents and children. It is our aim that this process should be as seamless and stress free as possible. With that in mind, we will work hard to get to know you son/daughter before they officially start; visiting them in primary schools, collecting information from yourself and teachers and inviting them to two transition days as well as a transition evening accompanied by parents. We will be in regular contact, keeping you update along the way. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the General Office on 01772 421303 or email transition@wellfieldacademy.org
