Year 6 into Year 7 Transition

WELCOME TO ALL YEAR 6 PARENTS/CARERS AND STUDENTS!

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome your child to The Pingle Academy in September 2025. We a re delighted that your child will be joining our school for the next chapter in their school life.  Rest assured, they are going to have an amazing and successful time at The Pingle Academy!

Starting secondary school is an exciting time, but it also can be a little bit daunting for children as they are transferring from a relatively small school to a larger one.  Please don’t worry though we are here to fully support their transition journey and will be using this website, other interactive resources and hopefully some smaller scale face to face activities to make your child’s introduction to The Pingle Academy a safe, smooth and special one.

Please be assured that we have started liaising with the primary schools to collect the information that we need about your child.  If you have any concerns or information that you would like to pass on, please contact the academy by emailing Mr Waller, Assistant Principal, email: swaller.tpa@affinitylp.co.uk, who will be able to help you.  You may have a query regarding special educational needs where our SENDCo, Miss Khan, email: skhan.tpa@affinitylp.co.uk, can assist.  As well as information about induction, we have gathered other information together that you or child will want to know about the academy including videos and photographs.

Many families have a lot of the same questions and concerns surrounding transition and we are committed to working with you to address any issues. All the key information you need as parents/carers will be uploaded to this website for easy access.  We also have several fun interactive resources and links to helpful videos for your children to engage with which will help to prepare them for the big move, so please keep visiting this website for updated content.
