Transition into Secondary

Welcome to Samuel Ryder Academy Secondary Phase

Our aim is to make all of our new students feel welcome, safe and confident for their time at Samuel Ryder Academy, enjoying from the beginning what we hope will be some of the best years of their lives. As part of the induction process, a member of the Year 7 team will visit your child at their primary school in the summer term. This is a valuable opportunity for your child and the member of staff to familiarise themselves with each other, and for your child to ask any questions they may have about secondary school life. 

Please click below for our Faculty Information Booklet for 2024-2025:
