Students transitioning from primary to secondary school can be an exciting but also an anxious experience. At Bedford Academy we aim to ensure that this process is as smooth as possible for all students, whatever primary school they are coming from.
All the communications and documents we will be sending out to parents/carers and students will be available on our website.
We have set up an email address just for our new Year 7 families and students [email protected]. This is in place so that they can ask us specific questions about anything that excites, worries or concerns them. During the Summer holiday, if you need to contact us, please email [email protected] emails will be picked up periodically during the Summer break.
