A Brilliant Opportunity: Supporting Year 6 Pupils Through the High School Transition 🌟
We’re always looking for meaningful ways to support our children as they grow—and the transition from primary to secondary school is one of the biggest steps they’ll ever take. That’s why I’m delighted to share a fantastic opportunity, kindly brought to us by one of our parents, which I think many of you will find incredibly valuable.
Carol and Kay, two experienced and compassionate counsellors from the SR Therapy Centre, are offering a bespoke 6-week 1:1 transition programme to help children prepare emotionally and practically for the move to high school. The idea is simple but powerful: give children a safe space to talk through their feelings, explore their anxieties, and gain tools to build confidence—all while being supported by trusted professionals.
Each child will receive six 1-hour weekly face-to-face sessions with either Carol or Kay. The programme can run during term time or continue into the summer holidays, depending on availability and your child’s needs.
Here’s what’s included:
📅 Week 1 – Getting to know your child, exploring their feelings about the move to high school, understanding anxiety, and validating their experience.
📅 Week 2 – Reflecting on transition visits and addressing any specific concerns that have surfaced.
📅 Week 3 – Getting organised: understanding timetables, school layout, packing bags, and managing routines.
📅 Weeks 4 & 5 – Building confidence and self-esteem, normalising worries, and strengthening inner belief.
📅 Week 6 – Bringing it all together: reviewing strategies, creating a personalised coping toolkit, and supporting long-term resilience.
Children will always be treated with unconditional positive regard, and the sessions will be tailored to each individual. Parents can be included in reflections if desired, or the sessions can remain confidential unless there are concerns about safety or wellbeing.
⚠️ Not every child will need a full programme—there is also flexibility to book single, one-off sessions based on what’s right for your family.

Let’s continue to support them in stepping forward with confidence, clarity, and courage. 💛
