Introduction

Welcome

We are delighted to hear that your child will be joining us at Stationers' Crown Woods Academy in September to start their exciting journey through secondary education. We would like to welcome you into our SCWA community and explain the transition process from Year 6 into Year 7.

Transition from primary to secondary education is an important milestone in the lives of young people and their families. At Stationers' Crown Woods Academy we strive to provide our new students and their families with a smooth and extensive transition programme so when the first day comes, everyone involved is feeling excited and motivated rather than apprehensive about their new surroundings.

The purpose of this site is to act as a transition portal for parents/carers and children who will be our Year 7 students in September 2022.

Here you will find helpful information which aims to ease the worries that some of the students may have moving to a new school.

We will be inviting you, as parents and carers, to attend a 'meet the tutor' event at the academy, planned provisionally for October 2022. This event may be conducted in person or virtually, where you will be able to meet the Year 7 tutor team and you will be provided with an overview of how your child has settled into secondary school.

Please can I also remind you to complete the Admission data collection form and the ‘Getting to Know you Survey’ by Friday 18th March. We look forward to reading about what our new students are like as well as reading about your worries about coming to secondary school. We will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible for you on the 'Frequently Asked Questions' and 'Information Booklet" sections of this Google Site.

How you can help your child

Talk to your child about the transition process. How are they feeling about moving to Stationers' Crown Woods Academy? What would they like to know?

If you have any questions that have not been answered once you have explored this Google Site, please email transitions@scwa.org.uk.

Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter where we will make general announcements.

We hope that this welcome finds you well and our transition process can provide a settled and smooth journey into secondary education. Please look after yourselves and we look forward to meeting you and your child in the very near future.

Small school allocation will be concluded week commencing 18th July 2022 and correspondence sent accordingly.

Yours sincerely

Mr Watson , Vice Principal
