Our district Specialist Teaching & Learning Service (STLS) and local secondary schools have given primary schools in Swale a set of 10 transition tips/activities to support our year 6 pupils with their move to year 7.

There will be one tip per week for school, one tip per week for you as parents and carers and one tip for your child during terms 5 and 6. The activities focus on supporting children to develop their independence ahead of secondary transition.

Every child is different - some may need more support and some may feel very 'ready'. All emotions about the impending change are quite normal!

We hope that these activities will provide you with some useful talking points and actions in the home, as they will in school. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
