Year 6 Transition

Welcome to our Year 6 Transition page, where you can access resources and information about the transition from primary to secondary school. We recognise that the move from primary school to secondary school is a big one – often for parents and carers as much as for the students! Our transition programme allows us to make the process a positive and exciting experience for our students.

Maritime Academy opened in September 2022 with one Year 7 cohort so is uniquely placed to ensure a nurturing and supportive transition for every individual that joins us. We will do all we can to allow Year 6 students to gain a real insight into being a Maritime Academy student. Our positive links with primary schools in the local area and beyond, will allow us to create a seamless transition for your child ensuring that students entering Year 7 settle in quickly and with ease.

Students at Maritime Academy are expected to achieve standards of excellence in all areas of academy life including appearance.

A uniform, worn well, supports excellent behaviour, emphasises equality amongst young people and reflects the pride that our students have in being part of the academy community. Correct uniform must be worn at all times. We strongly recommend that parents and students review our Uniform Policy. The guide provides details of our official uniform suppliers, and we recommend that parents purchase any branded items from Simmonds our official suppliers.

Uniform is an important part of our school.  We believe it promotes a sense of identity and establishes good working habits.
