UPDATE: 9th JULY 2026

Due to the current extreme hot weather and the resulting high temperatures inside the school building, we are adapting our scheduled Transition events. To ensure the safety and comfort of all families and staff, we are streamlining the schedule to minimise time spent in the building. We are adding an extra session on Tuesday 14th July when the temperatures will hopefully be cooler.

Please note the updated timings for both dates below:

Thursday 9th July (Today)

3:00 pm – 4:00 pm: Uniform and PE suppliers will be on-site in the Diner for purchases and queries.
4:00 pm – 4:15 pm: A short, introductory briefing will be held in the hall by Mr Keogh, Miss Leigh, and Mr Wayte.

Tuesday 14th July

3:00 pm – 4:00 pm: Uniform and PE suppliers will be on-site in the Diner for those who could not attend the first session.
4:00 pm – 4:15 pm: The introductory briefing by Mr Keogh, Miss Leigh, and Mr Wayte will be repeated in the hall.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we adapt to these unusual temperatures to welcome our new Year 7 safely.

Any questions – please let me know: eleigh@theaxholmeacademy.com

Kind regards, Miss Leigh
