Preparing your Year 6 child to be ready for secondary school is an exciting time of change and some simple steps can ease this transition.
We suggest that families discuss what to expect, including new routines and subjects, to ease any anxieties.
A great idea is to visit the secondary school together and meet teachers to make the environment more familiar, or attend any events or open days they have.
As we do at school, we recommend that families encourage independence by practising self-organisation skills, like using their school diary, completing home learning tasks and packing their own school bag. This would also reinforce good study habits and time management.
Finally, foster a positive attitude by highlighting the exciting opportunities and new experiences that secondary school will bring.
