We are delighted to welcome you to the Miltoncross Family and look forward to working with you to support the education, personal development and well-being of our new students, your children, as they progress towards young adulthood.
The transition from Primary to Secondary School is an exciting and significant milestone in any child’s education, and can invoke a mixture of emotions for students and their families. We understand that this period of transition can feel unsettling and we want to reassure you that despite any current government restrictions, we will be working alongside you to aid a smooth, positive start to life at Miltoncross Academy, enabling our new Year 7 students to make the best progress possible.
Our Transition Portal provides you with the opportunity to familiarise yourselves with our expectations, procedures and staff and enables us to better understand our new students’ and support families.
