Welcome to Tuxford Academy

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Tuxford Academy, we are delighted that you have chosen Tuxford for the next steps in your child’s education. Transition is an exciting time and we really hope that your child enjoys their first experiences of the academy and it helps to ensure a smooth transition from year 6 to year 7.

At the moment, due to the unprecedented situation we are unable to confirm the arrangements for transition to the academy for your child. However, please be assured that when we are in a position to welcome your son or daughter in to the academy, we will ensure an inclusive and broad transition is made available to introduce them to the Tuxford way of life and everything it has to offer.
