Primary Transition

 

Feeder Schools

We welcome students from all primary schools, and anyone is welcome to apply for a place at Hall Park Academy.

The majority of students at Hall Park Academy come from one of our feeder schools. These are:

• The Florence Nightingale Academy
• Greasley Beauvale Primary School
• Lawrence View Primary School
• The Priory Catholic Voluntary Academy
• Springbank Academy

 

Transition Process

In September, parents of Year 6 students are invited to view secondary schools and select their first, second and third preference of where they would like their child to attend. This is done through their local council. Following schools' individual admissions policies, the council then allocate places at the highest priority school with places available. You can find our Admissions Policy on our Policies page. 

On 1st March, parents find out which school their child has been allocated a place at. Parents with children joining Hall Park Academy will hear from us just after this date welcoming their child to our academy and to start the transition process.
