Depends a lot of the individual teachers - in secondary they can have a dozen or more teachers over a year - each of them will have their own styles and preferences.
IME secondaries know it's going to be very different experience from Primary school and support the Yr7s very well initially.
Obviously some of the teachers (say music) will only see the dc once a week (or even fortnight) and will teach probably half the school, so they can't have the same close relationship / knowledge of the individual child as their Primary teacher.
