The first Monday in July is Transition Day when all of our new intake students join us in the Academy for their first day as a Central student. The day will begin with an assembly and the organisation of students into their Tutor Groups. This is followed by lessons, break time and lunch which the Catering Team provide for everyone. There is also a Tutor period during which the students will meet their Form Tutor – the person responsible for their pastoral care for the next five years. We end with a final Assembly bringing the year group back together to capture the highlights of the day. The same evening we host our first Parents Evening for all our new families and at this event Parents will meet key members of the senior team and have time with their child’s Form Tutor as well as an opportunity to speak to the SEND team, Medical team and Catering team about any specific needs their child may have.
Following the whole year Transition Day there will be other opportunities for specific students with additional SEND, SEMH, Medical needs to be invited back in to the Academy for some bespoke 1:1 or small group sessions in the final weeks of the summer term.
