Year 7 Transition 2026

We were delighted to welcome our new Year 7 students to the Wade Deacon family this September.

Wade Deacon is a fantastic place to learn, and we provided our new starters with a supportive and positive learning environment where they had the opportunity to make new friends, experience new things and have fun. We encouraged our new students to challenge themselves, reach their potential and contribute to the life of our school. We thoroughly enjoyed helping students discover more about themselves and their abilities, and we supported them in achieving their goals throughout the beginning of their learning journey with us.

Our Transition Programme included two successful Transition Days, which took place on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th July. We were also pleased to visit students at their primary schools during the summer term. Prior to joining us, all students received a personalised welcome letter from our Head of School, Mr Deeney, helping to make the transition an exciting experience for everyone.

School Meals and Allergies

Please check out our school menu below to see the delicious meals on offer each day! Our menus change with the seasons, bringing fresh and exciting choices throughout the year, and we'll let you know whenever a new menu is introduced.

If your child has any food allergies, please complete the Allergy Form below so we can keep our records up to date. While we record and monitor allergy information, it is important that students make the restaurant team aware of their allergy requirements each time they are served. If you would like to discuss your child's allergies or dietary needs in more detail, please contact the school office and a member of the team will be happy to help.
