Moving from primary school to secondary school is an exciting time. A new, much bigger school can offer greater independence and a world of opportunity!
However, it also means new teachers, new subjects and potentially a whole new set of friends. These changes can cause people to worry about what secondary school might be like.
Remember...everybody worries sometimes and there are lots of people and resources available to help you.
Below you will find a range of resources to help you prepare for an exciting new chapter in your education.
If you have any questions or want to talk to someone at school, please contact us. We are here to help!
