Front page of First News (the newspaper for young people) this week says that many 11-year-olds worry about leaving primary and starting at secondary school but a survey of over 1300 secondary school pupils by School Stickers says that there is no need to worry. We all know they are going to worry anyway, but I thought it was a nice story and wanted to share as might help parents of 11 year olds to reassure their kids.
A link to the First News story is below, along with a link to the full research on the School Stickers website.
