Year 6 into 7 Transition
Year 6 into Year 7 Transition Day
Please be aware that our Year 6 into Year 7 Transition Day takes place at the end of the summer term. Relevant information will be shared with our new families after Easter. We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Mill Road Campus in September however before we do, we would like to let you know a bit more about the academy, what we do and what we believe in. We also want to give you some important information about what to expect when you join the academy to help make your transition here go smoothly. 'Who's who?' 'What's what?' and 'What do I do when?' are the questions that we are often asked, you may also have questions of your own, which we will aim to answer in our booklet below.
Supporting School Transition
Transitioning from primary to secondary school is a particularly significant change for children. Learning about change and how to cope with it will help them with this transition and prepare them for many other changes and challenges they will face in life.
Finding your feet
Youngminds.org.uk have created a resource that reassures people just like you, who are going through the transition from Year 6 to Year 7 that they are not alone when it comes to their worries about secondary school, that there are ways to cope with change and there are people to talk to when things get difficult.
As part of their 'Finding Your Feet' programme, Young Minds colleagues went into lots of different schools to talk to Year 6 students about moving up to secondary school. They heard lots of similar concerns about getting the bus, meeting new people, scary teachers and leaving friends behind. They also heard from many Year 7 students who found that some of the things they were worrying about didn’t happen or weren’t as hard as they thought, and they produced several useful resources / videos which may help you with your transition to Plume Academy.
