Transition into Secondary

Welcome to Samuel Ryder Academy Secondary Phase

On Thursday 25th September 2025, we opened our doors to prospective students' families and welcomed them to our Secondary Transfer Open Evening. We thank all that joined us for a wonderful evening here at Samuel Ryder Academy. There was an incredible atmosphere; it was especially inspiring to see our remarkable students interacting with the younger children.

To request a morning secondary tour date, please click here. Extra spaces have now been added due to high demand.

The secondary tours, from 9:00am - 10:00am, are available as follows:

  • Monday 6th October 
  • Wednesday 8th October
  • Friday 10th October 

* Please kindly allow extra time, ahead of a tour, to park off-site *

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.
