Transition to Secondary
During upper Key Stage 2, the children experience many opportunities to visit the Wellington Academy secondary school. They will take part in sporting, creative and curriculum based activities and also get to know the Academy staff before any transition events take place. In Year 5, the children are offered taster days and, in Year 6, an organised programme of events takes place. As with entry to Reception classes, any children who need extra visits or support will be catered for with a personalised programme.
For places at the Wellington Academy, please see their Admission Policy and submit all applications via Wiltshire Council.
