How a transition video helped students settle confidently into Year 7

Challenge

The Academy of St Nicholas wanted to be the first-choice secondary school in Garston. The school needed to reassure prospective students and parents, highlight its state-of-the-art facilities, pastoral care, and faith-based education, and ensure a smooth Year 6 to Year 7 transition.

Strategy

CPMM Media Group developed a student-led transition video showcasing the school day, facilities, and key processes such as Yondr pouches and the uniform hub. The video allowed pupils’ voices to take centre stage, providing an authentic, engaging introduction for new students.

Results

• The video successfully engaged prospective students and parents.
• Parents reported feeling more informed and confident about the transition process.

“The transition video perfectly captured the spirit and ethos of our academy, while also serving as a vital tool to help our new cohort understand what life at secondary school will be like.” Headteacher
