A Smooth Transition

Leeds East Academy is proud of its transition program which starts as far back as Year 5 in primary school. We ensure our students arrive with a good understanding of the school, our expectations and our systems. All our effort is dedicated to making a new student feel as positive and safe as possible when they come to school.

During our last Year 7 open evening we conducted a Parent Voice questionnaire to find out just how successful our programmes had been. The results speak for themselves with an overwhelmingly positive response.

100% of parents said their child felt safe at Leeds East Academy

98% of parents said their child enjoyed attending Leeds East Academy

Mr Stokes added: "The new year seven's have made a great start to secondary school and this is without doubt due to the excellent work that the transition team did before students arrived in school with us."
