Dear Year 6 Parent/Carer,

By the end of October 2022 you will have made the exciting decision about where you would like to send your child for the next step in their education from September 2023.

I am writing to invite you and your child to a Year 6 into 7 Information Evening at The Bridge Campus, Nottingham Academy, Sneinton Boulevard on Monday 26th September from 5-6.30pm. The evening will consist of a series of presentations from key staff and current Year 7 and 8 pupils in the main hall. There will be an information booklet to take away, opportunities for questions and refreshments. If travelling by car, it is advised to park on Sneinton Boulevard and walk up the path.

We are also running Open Morning Tours for you and your child which are an opportunity for you to come and see our Year 7 and 8 in action. These will be by appointment only and will run for approximately 30 minutes up until Half Term Friday 14^th October 2022. Please call Nottingham Academy on 0115 7483380 during school hours (8am-3pm) or email transition@nottinghamacademy.org to book an appointment.

Mr Bainbridge, the Head of Year 7, is also visiting your child’s Primary school so your child can hear all about what we can offer them, ask any questions and hear from our new Year 7 pupils. Our unique setting of having a campus just for year 7 and 8 pupils, allows pupils to transition smoothly from Primary to Secondary education, build confidence and thrive. They will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to develop their characters as a whole and fully prepare them for Year 9, GCSEs and beyond.

I really hope you can join us at our Information Evening on Monday 26^th September and please do not hesitate to book an appointment for an Open Morning Tour where we will be glad to show you around and you will see first hand the impact of our positive culture.

Yours faithfully

Mrs J Bigwood

Campus Principal, The Bridge Campus, Nottingham Academy
