Transition to Academy 360

From 25th to 27th June, Academy 360 hosted its annual transition events, welcoming almost 120 year 6 students from 11 different middle schools. The three-day event was designed to help students familiarize themselves with their new environment and prepare for the start of their journey at Academy 360 in September.

During the transition events, the students had the opportunity to practice their new routines, explore the school building through guided tours, and meet the staff and support teams who will be assisting them in the upcoming school year. One of the highlights of the event was a mini-sports day, where students engaged in friendly competition, with the winners earning a special breakfast the following morning.

Additionally, the students participated in the Academy’s reward scheme by completing 1500 reward cards, which were entered into a daily raffle. This initiative aimed to introduce the new students to the Academy's system for celebrating and encouraging good behaviour across various aspects of school life.

The transition events were a resounding success, providing the year 6 students with a welcoming and engaging introduction to Academy 360. The staff and current students are excited to see the new cohort integrate and thrive in their new educational environment.
