Current YR 6 children going into YR 7

[yourmumsnet]

Is there anything we should be doing from now until September that I may not have thought of?

Uniform order and practice journey there and back.
Encourage enjoyment and cherishing last month of secondary school.
Slowly allowing more independence.

Anything else? I feel like this is quite a big transition and I'm anticipating lot of growth from seeming like a child to admire teenage like over the summer.

I want to allow that growth but whilst keeping good boundaries and not allowing to do too much and selfishly, maintaining family things rather than the focus shift all on friendship groups.

Be aware that one of the biggest changes for your DC will be in having to be organised and make sure they have the correct books/ gym gear every day. they will also be stressed about moving round the school. Make sure they know to write down the homework in every lesson and if they aren’t given a chance to do that, contact the HoY and ask them to tell the teachers to give the children time to do this.
