Y6 Transition Day and Evening - Tuesday 9 July 2024

I am extremely excited to welcome you and your child to our Y6 Transition events which will take place on Tuesday 9 July 2024. 

Y6 Transition Day will take place from 8.30am-3.15pm (for Y6 students only). This will be your Y6 child's first chance to experience some lessons, meet their tutor and enjoy some of the excellent facilities that we have at Broadlands Academy.  

Y6 Transition Evening will take place from 3.15pm-5.15pm (for Y6 students and parents). This will be an opportunity for parents to come and join with their Y6 child to hear key information and ask any questions that you may have.

As the incoming Principal for September 2024, I am thrilled to be starting my time at Broadlands with your family and I look forward to meeting you on Tuesday 9 July 2024.

Kind regards,

Laura Stone
