Starting secondary school is an exciting milestone, and at Erdington Academy we work closely with families and our partner primary schools to ensure every child feels confident, supported, and ready for the journey ahead.
Our transition programme is designed to help Year 6 pupils settle quickly by introducing them to the academy’s routines, values, staff, and learning environment before September.
