Transition 

On choosing our school and accepting your place, we will make your transition as smooth as possible – we know it’s a big step moving to a new school. We are incredibly proud of our transition systems, particularly for those transferring from primary schools to us. Time is taken to get to know our students in advance to enable them to make a positive and strong start to their time at Mercia Academy.
