Can anyone offer any good 'transition to Secondary school' advice or resources?

DS1 is going to secondary in September.

Although he is old in his year (November birthday) he is pretty much in his 'own world' most of the time, and not at all street-wise/ savvy, or whatever else you'd call it.

I'm not sure the school really does anything to prepare them for the transition to 'big' school, and I just wondered whether anyone had any experience/ resources which might help.

The sorts of things I'm thinking about are:

  • road safety - walking to school
  • staying safe/ looking after possessions/ money
  • avoiding potentially dangerous situations (e.g. on own in secluded place)
  • personal organisation - books/ homework etc
  • arranging social life!

I don't know... anything really... It hink he is going to be lost in September!
