An information evening, for the parents or guardians of children due to start in the Autumn, is held during the preceding summer term. This offers the opportunity to meet staff and view the Academy at leisure. Children will have a chance to meet their new teacher and other children in their class when they come into the Academy for pre-arranged visits.
