Transition to Secondary
Exploring the challenges of moving up to Secondary school.
Moving from primary to secondary education can be exciting and daunting for both you and your child.
We aim to help ease the transition by exploring the differences between the two, discussing the importance of making friendships and giving pupils the experience of navigating their new school day.
For Year 6 and their parents and carers.
Transition to Secondary is split over two inter-linked sessions:
In Part One we cover:
Learning to read a school timetable and navigate a secondary school day

Create strategies for making new friends at their new school
In Part Two we explore:
