Transition Information

Introduction to The Roundhill Academy

Transition Information 2025

Parents of Year 6 pupils across the country will find out on 1st March (or closest working day)  which Secondary School their child has been allocated a place at.  This information will be sent to you by email from Leicestershire County Council or Leicester City Council to the email address that you put on the Admissions form you submitted online last October.

Week commencing 4th March Bradgate Secondary Schools – The Roundhill Academy and Wreake Valley Academy – will contact you to by email with a Welcome letter, which will give details of our Transition Programme.

This year to help make the Transition process as simple and seamless as possible for parents as well as pupils, we are holding a Transition Information Evening in March at each school.

The evening will allow you to meet key members of staff.  We will talk you through what to expect from us; both in terms of Transition and when your child’s starts with us in August.  We will explain the importance of the information that we will collect from you and from your child’s primary school and how we use this information to put our tutor groups together.  We will also inform you about uniform and where to purchase this.
