The transition from primary to secondary school is exciting for children and marks a new phase in their lives. Children recognise it as part of growing up and are aware that their lives are about to change in an important way. Like any change, it can also bring uncertainty. Most children will manage the transition to secondary school successfully. However, there may be ups and downs. It’s easy for children to slip from feeling happy and confident one minute, to feeling nervous or anxious and back again as they find their feet. As a secondary school there is much you can do to help your new incoming Year 7’s through the transition period with careful and sensitive preparation. Research shows that the signs of a successful transition are as follows: – Developing new friendships and maintaining good self-esteem and confidence; – Showing an increasing interest in school and school work; – Getting used to their new routines and school organisation with ease; – Experiencing continuity in learning; We incorporate activities and sessions in our transition programme to be able to achieve the above effectively.
