Supporting Your Child's Transition

Moving onto secondary school is an emotional time for all involved; teachers, parents and children alike! If you would like advice or support in helping your child to have a smooth transition, take a look at some of the resources here.

We know that some children will find moving more difficult than others so if you feel that your child might require additional support to that suggested on this page, contact our team who will discuss what we can do to help further.

Action Your Potential

Programme: Challenge #NeuroNinja: Choose Growth! Get Ready for the Future a Programme to Inspire and Prepare Year 6s & Get Them Ready for the Challenges of Year 7 

It’s been a tough year for all of us.  For children in Year 6, it has been particularly tough with the transition coming at the end of a year punctuated with lockdowns and missed schooling. 

Throughout this term and into August, AYP is offering Year 6 students the chance to prepare for the transition to Year 7 by developing the daily behaviours that improve well-being, motivation, mood and learning progress.  This is a unique opportunity to develop the daily behaviours that will not only help them transition well to secondary school but also set them up for understanding how to get the most of their amazing brain!

Interested? To find out more about how the programme works, join us online on Wednesday 16 June by signing up here.
