We are pleased to welcome the families of the Year 6 pupils who are about to make the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 in September 2026; we are really looking forward to working with you.
Should you need further guidance you can always contact the office directly at
enquiries@uah.org.uk. However, we hope that this page is a useful starting point for most of your queries.
We understand the challenges that the transition from primary to secondary school can bring and believe that a strong start to secondary school is essential for every child.
Due to its popularity, the academy has over 30 feeder schools that we work closely with to ensure transition is as smooth as possible and fully support the pupils move up. As part of this, our process will typically include:
Primary School Visits
These are an essential part of our process. Pupils at all of our feeders are all visited at their own school by a member of University Academy Holbeach staff. This gives the opportunity for pupils to ask questions and discuss any concerns before their transition days and for staff to meet with their primary teachers. Pupils with identified SEND will receive additional visits from a SENDCO and will be offered the opportunity to visit University Academy Holbeach in addition to the usual transition events.
A transition evening on Wednesday 1st July 6.00-7.00pm)
We will invite all parents to join us to learn more about how best to support your child’s immediate transition to us, deal with details around uniform and our expectations of/for parents and children. Pupils will be able to visit the academy with a parent in order to hear important messages from the Principal and meet their form tutor.
Two days of transition on Thursday 9th & Friday 10th July
Pupils will come to visit the academy for two days during the summer term in order to begin to familiarise themselves with the site, key staff and those students in their tutor group. The day begins at 8.35am and will end at 3.30pm.
Parent Information Evening
Once the pupils have started to settle in to Year 7 we will be inviting all parents to attend an information evening. This is an excellent opportunity for parents to meet key staff in the year team and senior leadership team and ask any questions that you may have.
Tracking
Before the pupils start in September parents will be given log in details for Edulink One. This app allows you as a parent to monitor pupils behaviour points, praise points, attendance and homework. It also allows you to keep us informed of any absences and changes to pupils personal details. Edulink One is the main communication tool we use to share letters, tracking and reports and helps to keep open lines of communication between school and home to ensure pupils are fully supported to succeed.
