Moving On Well

Helping young people move to high school with confidence

We want all our young people to experience a positive and confident transition to high school.

To make this happen, we work closely with local Primary and Secondary schools to deliver a range of support including:

  • In-school lessons
  • After-school groups
  • Parent sessions
  • Peer mentoring
  • Staff training

All of this is designed to ensure the very best outcomes for our brilliant young people.

We also offer a range of high-quality training for both Primary and Secondary school staff to strengthen transition practices. Our workshops can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your school and may include:

  • Understanding the differences between Primary and Secondary settings
  • Exploring the transition journey from the pupil’s perspective
  • Evidence-based strategies to support emotional wellbeing during transition
  • Training and resources to deliver the Moving On Well Year 6 workshops
  • Training and resources for the Year 7 peer mentoring programme
  • Practical guidance on how to maximise effective transition in your school

(Our staff workshops begin at £250 for in person training)
