Preparing for Year 7 at The Bulwell Academy
Are you choosing your child’s next school?
Choosing the right ‘big school’ is a huge decision. Our annual Open Evening takes place in September / October each year, providing the opportunity for prospective families to find out why The Bulwell Academy could be the right choice for their child.
If you miss the Open Evening and would like to have a tour of the school, please contact Mrs T Sadler, PA to the Principal: enquiries@bulwellacademy.org.uk

Transition from primary to secondary school
When students transfer from their primary school into the Academy, we work hard to ensure that they feel settled as soon as possible. A series of activities are planned to enable your child to understand what their learning life will be like when they join us.
Children requiring a little extra support for their learning will be supported through the Academy’s SEND Team. To contact the Academy’s SENDCo, please email: sendco@bulwellacademy.org.uk. You can also visit our SEND page for more information about SEND support.
If your child attends one of the Bulwell primary schools they may have visited The Bulwell Academy already on one of the variety of activities that the Transition Team organises to help children to feel at home on the Academy site.

Transition Days & Parents’ Information Evening
During the first week in July each year, Nottingham City Transition day ensures that all Year 6 children spend a number of days at their secondary school of choice. On Transition Days children are grouped in their new forms and have an opportunity to make new friends, get to know the lunch system and have a tour of the building as well as taking part in a wide range of team building activities.
On the Wednesday evening of the first week in July, a Parents Evening is held to inform parents and students about the routines of the school, expectations of students, and lots of other useful information.
If your child is ‘moving up’ in September 2024, you can find out more information by clicking on the red button below.
