Starting secondary school is an exciting time for our pupils, but it can also be a challenging time too. We recognise that this can also be a worrying time for the parents and carers as well, as the transition brings a huge amount of change into your households as well.
The BBC and YoungMinds have created some extremely useful resources to help families through the transition. Click on the links below to videos for both students and parents/carers which are designed to help families through the transition period.
