We are delighted that you have chosen The Holgate Academy as the next step in your child’s education.
We understand that the transition from primary to secondary school is one of the most significant and exciting milestones your child will experience. It’s completely normal for them to feel both nervous and excited about this change. Many students feel the same way each year; however, they quickly settle in and come to see The Holgate Academy as a second home.
To help you prepare for your child’s start with us in September, we’ve provided some useful information below, along with homework activities to complete over the summer.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you and your family in the coming months. In the meantime, if you have any questions or anything you’d like to discuss, please don’t hesitate to contact us at transition@holgate-ac.org.uk.
