July
- Year 6 Transition Induction Days: Tuesday 30th June and Wednesday 1st July 2026.
Your child will be invited to spend two days at All Saints’ Academy. They’ll meet peers in their year group and participate in lessons across all departments. It’s a great chance to experience academy life first-hand!
A hot school dinner will be provided for every student free of charge. If you would prefer for your child to have a packed lunch, please provide one for them.
Students are encouraged to bring a bottle of water and a snack for break time. Students should make their own way to and from school and wear their primary school uniform.
Your child will need to be at the Academy for 8.30 am, where they will be welcomed at the main entrance by staff and can be collected from outside the Cotswold Hall at 3.10 pm. We are asking that students wear their primary school uniform, but bring trainers with them in a bag to enable them to take part in the exciting sports activities.
