Headstart Day
Headstart Day
The day will be based on our academy values of: Respect, Integrity, Scholarship, Ambition and Resilience. The activities planned will introduce our new students to what these values mean and how they are linked to everything we do at LAB. On the day students will meet their Head of College and other members of their college team. It will also be an opportunity for them to make new friends, experience how we learn at LAB and explore the amazing new building. More details to follow shortly!
Primary School Visits
Primary School Visits
Each college team will work closely with every feeder primary school to ensure we have all the required information to support your child's transition to secondary school. College staff will visit primary schools to meet students and answer any questions they may have and also give them some information about a typical day at LAB.
Summer Project
Summer Project
Every year our future Year 6's are asked to complete a Summer Project. Our founders researched local people and determined the names of our colleges, our current Year 8s designed time capsules to celebrate the building of our new school in 2020 and our current year 7's designed the fourth floor of the building! More details about our Summer Project will be shared soon!

Our 'Meet the Tutor' event takes place in Module One. This event is an opportunity for parents to meet their child's tutor and run through some key topics in relation to their child's academy life. We look forward to meeting you all!
Summer school (Student invite only)
To support the transition between Primary to Secondary School, there may be some students who will benefit from some additional support to ensure their transition is a positive experience. The day will focus on our values, as well as opportunities to forge relationships with others, and help with the adjustment for secondary school lessons and logistics (timings of the day and the school site)
