Usually in July we will hold a ‘Welcome Day’ for students. All students that have gained a place in our Year 7 cohort will be invited to spend a day at The Academy of St. Nicholas.  On this day students will be placed into form groups and spend the day getting to know other students whilst taking part in a variety of activities designed to help start school here in September happily and confidently.

As part of our Community, the Academy works exceptionally close with primary schools to ensure that the very best possible arrangements are made for the children who transfer to us.

The following primaries are the schools who we currently work with, click a logo to visit their website.
