Transition Programme - Key Dates 

Primary School visits - May/June 2024 - Our Transition team will visit all our feeder primary schools during this period. This process allows us to meet our new students in a familiar environment for them and give them insight into life at the academy. It also allows the students to ask any questions that they may have.

Getting to Know You Evening - 20th June 2024 - Families will be invited to visit the academy to have a one-on-one meeting with a member of the academy leadership team. This will allow families to ask specific questions regarding their child's education and for us to gain further information about our new cohort of students.

Transition Activity Week - 24th to 28th June 2024 - We will be hosting a week of after-school transition lessons that will introduce our new cohort of students to some of the exciting lessons that they will experience at Leigh Academy Bexley when they join us in September 2024. 

Transition day - 2nd July 2024  - Your child will be invited to a transition day before the summer break where they will have the opportunity to start making new friends, engage in exciting transition lessons and meet members of staff and students. Students will often feel much more confident and reassured about the move after their 'Induction Day' has taken place and they will be eager to start in September 2024.

Summer School -  22nd July to 24th July 2024-  We are delighted to announce that we will again be delivering a Transition Summer School this year. During Summer School, students will take part in a range of team-building  and physical activities. Students will also participate in a series of taster sessions in a variety of subjects offered at Leigh Academy Bexley. This will be an exciting opportunity for our new Year 7 students to get a taste of what is to come when they start in September 2024.

Induction day - Monday 2nd September 2024 - Our New Year 7 students will start a day earlier than their peers, and will spend the majority of the day with their form class and key members of staff within their College. This will give our new cohort of students a further opportunity to familiarise themselves with the academy before the rest of the Academy returns on Tuesday 3rd September.
