Welcome to The Halley Academy!

We cannot wait to welcome you through our doors. Transition from primary to secondary 2022-2023 will be a great experience for you and in order for you to be well prepared, we will be continue to update this transition site, providing you with invaluable information to support and guide you through you transition to secondary school.

Induction Day 2021 for our Year 7s was a huge success. Our new cohort of Year 7 students were welcomed into The Halley Academy family in style.

A range of activities were enjoyed throughout the day and students were also introduced to the IB learner profile as the MYP is central to the learning journey at KS3.

Our Year 7s had an extremely positive start to the year and we wish them the best of luck in their academic careers.

We have no doubt that our 2022/23 cohort will have an equally enjoyable experience.


We are excited to inform you that the transition team will also be planning Google meets with you and your teachers in the coming months which is a great opportunity for you to meet a few members of staff at The Halley Academy and to ask all the questions you want.


The Halley family cannot wait to meet you and your family in person, but in the meantime, if you have any questions do not hesitate to get in touch with us by email using the email address: admin@thehalleyacademy.org.uk

To ensure that you feel well settled when you join us, we will be putting together some activities to be completed over the summer as well as uploading useful information; so please make sure you visit this page regularly.

Some quotes from our current Year 7s at the start of the academic year

'The orienteering task was a fun way to explore the playground.'

'I was really nervous about starting secondary school but now I feel like I've been here for a long time.'

'Secondary life is more exciting than primary school.'

'I liked the booklet because I was too shy to say things but I could write them down instead.'

'One thing I enjoyed about the induction day was getting to know fun facts about people.'


Feeling worried? You are not alone.

Transitioning from primary to secondary school is a massive change and we want to do everything we can to prepare you for the challenges you might face.


This video has been put together to put your mind at rest and to let you know that you are not alone on this journey.
