Transition to Havant
Key Information for Transition to Havant Academy
Our Transition days for 2025 will be available in due course
Students need to be at school by 8:30 am so they can be sorted into their Tutor groups.
Students should wear their Primary School PE kit on both days to allow them to take part in all activities on offer.
Lunch will be provided on both days but please let us know of any dietary requirements your child may have by emailing us at transitions@havant-tkat.org. However, students are welcome to bring their own packed lunch if they would prefer.
Students will be able to be collected at 2:50pm at the front of the school. If you are setting up other arrangements for your child to leave at the end of the day, for example going home with an older sibling, please let us know by emailing transitions@havant-tkat.org.
Any green registration forms not yet handed in must be submitted before the Transition Day (and can be completed at drop off on each morning).

At Havant Academy, there is lots of space, inside and outside, for all Year Groups to enjoy break and lunch time. This time is so important for you to socialise with your peers, refresh yourself and get yourself ready for your next lesson.
Break is at 10:50am and is 20 minutes long. Lunch time is at 12:50pm is 30 minutes long.
In good weather, you’ll have access lots of field space to spend time in the sunshine, play games and enjoy catching up with your friends! We have lots of picnic benches and space outside for you to enjoy.
We have a very large space called the Atrium, which is just next to the canteen. When the weather is rainy, you will be able to spend your break in your dedicated classrooms with your friends.
Don’t worry, wherever you choose to spend your free time, there will always be adults on duty, just like at primary school. There will always be a familiar staff member nearby who will be watching over you and your friends, they will also be able to answer any questions you may have.
If you wish, you can choose to buy food at break and lunchtime from our canteen. They have a wide range of lunches and snacks both hot and cold to choose from.
You can also decide to bring food and drinks with you in a lunchbox. This is fine as long as no fizzy or high energy drinks are brought into school. We want you to be healthy!
Some students even do a mix of the two. Perhaps bring a snack from home for break time and buy lunch in the canteen.
Havant Academy has a biometric system which means you pay for your lunch using your fingerprint. Your print is linked to a system called Cashless Catering which is an online account system. It is very similar to having your own bank account! You will need to bring some money with you and pop it into our cash machines at school - this will then show up on your account balance over at the canteen when you input your fingerprint.
Don't worry too much, we will provide you with all the information you need to access your account when you start. We will also make sure your parent/carer knows how it works before you start school.
If you are entitled to free school meals, your parents will apply for this via the Eligibility checker soon. Don’t worry—we will send them a letter all about it.
