Joining The City Academy, Hackney

Welcome to the City Academy!

We are really pleased that you will be joining us in Year 7 at The City Academy, Hackney this September.

We realise that the move from primary to secondary school can be both exciting and daunting. Our aim is to ensure that this transition is as smooth as possible for you. We know that your experience has been a little bit different this year and that you might have a lot of questions. To help you feel ready and prepared for September we have been thinking carefully about events and resources we can put in place.

Admissions Form

In order to make sure your child is registered correctly for September and their start at The City Academy Hackney we need parents/carers to complete our Admissions Form.

Our Data Team will send you a link to our BromCom Admissions Form.

It is important the information you provide is accurate and complete.

For any questions please email admissions@thecityacademy.org

Communication

Most of our information will be sent to parents via email, and so it is important to check that we have the correct contact email address for you.

If you have not yet received an email from us please double-check your junk folder, if there is nothing there please email: admissions@thecityacademy.org

We would appreciate it if you checked your emails regularly and made sure that emails from @thecityacademy.org are added to your ‘safe senders’ lists to avoid any important messages being sent to your junk folder.
