We welcome our new Year 6 children and look forward to you joining Norman Cornish Academy family!
Starting a new school can be very exciting and also challenging. We will work hard to ensure we know you and your child well before the start of term so we can have a great start to Year 7. Letters regarding each event are sent to parents/carers and Primary schools.
Key dates:
