We are so pleased you are considering The Hyndburn Academy for your child and wanted to provide you with information about the school to help you in making your decision and getting your child ready for joining Year 7. 

Choosing and starting at a new school can bring with it a few anxieties and we hope by giving you information and a point of contact you will feel ready to make this move. 

On this section of our website we will provide you with information to help with this decision process and further information throughout the year to enable this to be a smooth transition from Year 6 to Year 7. 

Prior to starting in the Autumn term, we contact all the primary schools and in particular the Year 6 teachers who provide us with information to help ensure every child has a supported start at The Hyndburn Academy. They will even let us know what friendship groups work well together so children don’t need to worry about not knowing anyone on their first day. 

In early May we email our transition pack to parents and schools. In this pack you will find a number of forms and information we would like you to read, complete and return.

You will find details of term dates, uniform requirements, free school meals and lots of other key information here on our website:

• School Uniform
• Free School Meals
• Term Dates
• The Arbor App

Please keep checking this section of the website as we will add information regularly and hope to keep you updated throughout the rest of the year.
