Moving On
At Spring Common Academy we work closely with external professionals to ensure a smooth transition for our pupils in Key Stage 4 and Post 16 to further education and social care settings.
Our annual Moving On evening gives parents/carers the opportunity to meet representatives from further education colleges, social care organisations, training/social enterprise providers and support groups from our local area.
We encourage you to download the 'Moving On' booklet from this page for more information, and take some time to review the additional information from some of our partners below. Click on a logo to view their website.
