We believe that the earlier your child engages with secondary school, the better they will settle into secondary school in Year 7. In Year 4, we invite students to take part in fun events throughout the year as an introduction to the school.
Our StepUp Programme provides a fully immersive experience at Salford City Academy for your child starting from Year 5.
Students have the chance to experience secondary school subjects in fun, engaging workshops at Salford City Academy. They try subjects they may not have encountered in primary school, such as Technology, Drama, and Science. They also meet staff members and get experience a larger learning environment.
On completion of each workshop, students receive a certificate to celebrate their attendance at the academy.
