Transition

Transfer Arrangements

Year 6 to Year 7

At Chantry Academy we do everything possible to make the transfer from Primary School as smooth as possible.  Key staff visit the primaries and speak with the young people to discuss their hopes and fears. We liaise closely with the primary schools to ensure we understand each young person's needs and aspirations. Projects ensure students make progress from their very first day of arriving at the Academy.  We offer opportunities for parents to come and speak to us.

Parents are always welcome to visit the Academy during the school day. If you wish to do so please contact the office for an appointment with a senior member of staff.

Our intake number is 210.

New pupils are invited to attend Chantry Academy for two days during the Summer Term -
