Transition Guides
Our lives are full of change, during which we transition or move from one stage to another. A transition from one educational setting to another can be exciting, but it can also be a cause of anxiety for you and your child.
All three guides were produced in collaboration with Together for Children to ensure that all the information and guidance is correct.

You can also pick up each guide from your local family hub.

Year 6 to 7
'Big School, Big Adventures'
​
As much as we would love to keep our little ones as little as possible, the reality is... they have to grow up. We know that in time, the journey may not get easier, but it just becomes ‘different’. There is a whole new stage to learn, and we want to help.
So, we know moving from primary to secondary school is a big step, but early planning and the right support can make all the difference.
This booklet is here to help you as parents and carers navigate the transition process, and make your child’s needs are met.

'Preparing for Adulthood'
​
It's great to start thinking about what comes after school as early as Year 9!
Yes, you read that right!
This gives you and your child plenty of time to explore all the different options available after Year 11 and Year 13. You can visit different places and figure out what's best for your child.
If your child stays on at their current school for sixth form, they'll usually leave at the end of Year 14.
Whatever the choice you and your child make, we want to make sure you are both aware of all the options.
