Primary to Secondary Transitions

Primary to Secondary Transition Programme

​

Delivered at: Valley Primary & Wickham Common Primary (MOSAIC Trust)

​​

The EYC Transition Programme is a co-created pilot designed to support Year 6 pupils as they move from primary to secondary school. We work alongside young people to ensure their voices, experiences, and ideas actively shape the programme. This ensures our support is relevant, responsive, and grounded in the realities of the students we serve. 

 

Programme Aims

• Help young people navigate emotional and social changes linked to transition

• Build confidence, resilience, and self-expression

• Strengthen peer relationships and communication skills

• Equip students with tools to manage uncertainty and anxiety

• Amplify student voice to shape transition support in real time

Approach from Co-Creation to Reporting​​

• Creative workshops to surface what support feels most helpful

• Baseline insights inform the rest of the programme​

 

Phase 2: Skills & Confidence Building

• Navigating friendships and peer dynamics

• Resilience and emotional regulation

• Encouraging self advocacy and agency​

 

Phase 3: Real World Preparation

• Practical strategies to manage independence and emotional challenges

• Peer-led insights to normalize change​

 

Phase 4: Reflection & Celebration
