Starting secondary school is a big step for every young person, and we're here to help make it feel a little less daunting. π
This year, LYP has been working with 7 schools to help Year 6 pupils feel more prepared, confident, and less worried about the move to secondary school. We do this through:
β¨ Assemblies in primary schools
β¨ Targeted transition sessions
β¨ Support on secondary school taster days
β¨ A regular lunch club throughout the year in a primary school
β¨ Taster sessions for our youth cafe drop-in
We try to make our sessions fun and interactive, and it's what most of the young people said they enjoyed most, alongside having the space to talk and feel supported:
π¬ "They were helpful"
π¬ "[I enjoyed] being able to speak my feelings"
π¬ "[I enjoyed] the support"
Small steps, big differences. π
