Transition Programme 2024/25
The Wisbech Academy believes that it is imperative that Year 6 students have a positive move into Year 7. It is vital that they feel confident and equipped to make the transition into the Academy at the start of the academic year.
We feel that in order to achieve a positive transition, parents should be fully informed about the process; therefore, we have put together a timetable of the process below.

After half term, we are inviting you, parents, students and stakeholder who are interested in applying for one of the 120 Year 7 places at the new school to join us on Monday 3rd June at 5.30pm at The Wisbech Academy.
