We are very much looking forward to meeting your child and welcoming them in to our school community.

Soon after accepting the place for your child you will be sent an online form to complete.  Please complete this as soon as possible to enable us to set you up on our MIS system.

We are in the process of speaking with Primary Schools across the city to find out more about your child and any needs they may have.  Depending on your child's needs their may be further transition events arranged prior to the end of the summer term.

Important things to do...

• Uniform purchase.  Total Clothing (www.totalclothing.co.uk) provide the uniform for MDSA.  The logo'd items should be purchased from Total Clothing.  We are introducing a new school skirt from September 2025 which is available from Total Clothing only.  No other skirt is acceptable uniform.  Other items, such as shirts, trousers, and PE bottoms can be purchased from any retailer as long as the items conform to our uniform policy.  The shirts should be WHITE and be suitable to worn with a tie. Trousers, and PE bottoms should be NAVY BLUE. Please note we do not offer a voucher scheme for uniform.  As we grow as a school we will undoubtedly have second-hand uniform for sale at discounted prices. 
• Stationery - students will need a school bag, pencil case with the basic stationery including a pen, pencil, ruler, rubber and pencil sharpener. Calculators will be available to purchase from school at a discounted price during the first school term. 
• SEN / K codes - We will be in contact with Primary Schools over the coming weeks to find out more about your child.  There will be additional transition events for children who may require a softer introduction to secondary school.  
• MCAS - MyChildAtSchool.  Once all online forms are completed and students are uploaded onto our system, we will be contacting parents / carers to set up the MCAS app.  This enables you to add dinner money on your child's account and pay for trips.
