Transition Information
Welcome to the Beacon Academy 'Transition 2023' Information Page.
At Beacon Academy, we understand the concerns about moving to a new school. To help support our future students through this period we aim to create a transition package to replace our normal transition sessions. Normally, transition sessions would have been held early in July and consist of two full days of them exploring the school, meeting new staff and accustoming themselves with their new academy.
Unfortunately, again, this year has had to be different due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To try and replicate some of the information and support they would have received during these two days we intend to provide students with a range of different transition support materials - found throughout this part of our website.
Please keep checking back to this page as we add further support and information.
Welcome Information:
We encourage you to look through and discuss this information with your child. On the Welcome Information Page (link below) is a host of key pieces of information to help settle nerves and support this school move.
Whilst we understand this isn't a perfect solution to transition, we still hope that this information and this website will:
Alleviate some fears about moving to our school
Inform students about some key information about the academy
Support students in helping them to feel part of their new school
Allow students to read information about staff and subjects they will encounter in September
Seeing the School:
We understand that one of biggest concerns this year is that students haven't been able to see or look around the academy. To try and help settle some of those nerves we have created a page here filled with images that the students can explore to see what different key parts of the school look like.
