Looking forward to year 7? Summer term year 6 is the gateway to success at secondary school. Get ready NOW!

Transition to Secondary School is a giant milestone in any child’s life. How your child adapts to the step-up from primary education in Year 7 is a vital factor in their later success in GCSEs. Making new friends, losing old ones, establishing new routines and negotiating a minefield of other related problems are worry enough without struggling in key areas such as Maths and English.

Once SATs tests are over in the summer-term of Year 6, many schools understandably reduce their focus on Maths and English. Unfortunately though, this invariably compounds the already damaging effects of what is known as summer learning loss—a widely recognised phenomenon, often resulting in a fall-back of a whole month’s learning (or more) over the summer holiday period.

Regardless of how well your child does in their Year 6 SATs tests, most secondary schools set their own baseline tests at the beginning of Year 7 for the purpose of streaming children into ability sets for Maths and English. Once groupings are decided upon, it can be difficult to move from one set up to another. Being properly prepared for the beginning of Year 7 is therefore vitally important to your child’s success at secondary school and beyond.

It doesn’t matter if your child has struggled to achieve the basics in Maths and English or is aspiring to the highest levels of achievement, Kip McGrath Brighouse can help make the transition to secondary school stress-free for you and your child, providing the essential momentum needed to catch up, keep up and excel!
