Welcome to The Portsmouth Academy’s Year 7 Transition page. We’re delighted that your child has chosen to join us in September 2023. As students prepare to embark on the next phase of their educational journey, we understand that this can be both an exciting and anxious time for them and parents. This page aims to provide you with an overview of the information you may need to help your child prepare for and settle into their new school.
