Year 6-7 Transition 2026

Welcome to Sedgehill Academy

On behalf of all the staff and students at Sedgehill, we would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of our new year 7 students joining us in September 2026, and to all new parents and carers too. Our academy has been educating children from the local community for over 50 years and we are really looking forward to meeting you all.

The transition from primary to secondary school can be a daunting prospect for young people, so our aim to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible. We have lots of exciting activities planned for the spring and summer to help our new students get to know their new school and each other.
