Back to: Get Secondary Ready Online Course 🎒
Welcome to the Get Secondary Ready online course! All the resources here have been prepared to help you best support your child as they start on their high school journey.
Each section contains a short video and summary text aimed at parents and carers to watch or read in your own time.
Also included in the course are nine activities you and your child can complete to #getsecondaryready.
If you’ve purchased the coaching programme these can also be sent to you as printable resources. Please email contact me to request this.
If you’d like to add coaching sessions to your package, please also contact me and I’d be happy to help.
The parent resources section contains extras such as an acronym dictionary and links to other sources. The transition timeline and template emails might be helpful as you go through your child’s first year at high school.
The information and advice shared is based upon my nearly 20 year career in secondary education; over a decade of which was spent leading transition in a large London high school. I have worked hard to present information here that should be useful to all parents of children approaching this milestone and you’ll notice there are often references to multiple ways things might be done. It should be noted that all schools will have their own routines and induction materials and they should be your main point of reference for your own child.
It’s natural to feel apprehensive about this change and even to feel sad about leaving your child’s primary school behind. However, I’m keen to help you see that there’s lots to get excited about too.
I hope you find this useful and look forward to hearing how you use it.
