At Breda Academy we recognise that some primary pupils can be daunted by the move from primary school to secondary school.  To help this transition we have a very thorough and successful induction programme that will enable our new year 8 pupils to feel part of school very quickly.

Before the Start of Year 8

As part of our Induction Process an introductory meeting for new pupils and their parents will be organised for June. This event provides an opportunity for pupils and their parents to meet staff, find out about school routines and procedures and to ask questions in regards to school life.

During the month of June, we will endeavour to visit your child’s primary school to find out extra information that will help them settle into life at Breda Academy.

The Start of Year 8

At the end of August, the new pupils will meet their Form Tutors and Head of Year who are carefully selected and specifically trained to work with Year 8 pupils. At the start of term 1 the new Year 8 pupils will have the school entirely to themselves as they find out about what is expected in school.
