Dealing with change and transitions toolkit Primary

The end of an academic year brings a range of emotions. It is a time for reflection and celebrating achievements, as well as excitement with the summer holidays on the horizon. However, it is also a time of change and upheaval which can feel difficult and cause anxious feelings. Some children will have come to the end of their time at primary school and will be getting ready to leave, and the others will be preparing to move on to a new school year next term. Everyone in school will also be preparing for the shift from the routine of the school day, to no formal education structure across the summer break. In this toolkit, we’ve collected resources to help primary pupils deal with change and prepare for the summer break. We’ve also included resources for those pupils who will be leaving your school, to help them feel more settled and prepared. We’ve also worked with education staff mental health charity Education Support on some guidance for staff, to help you look after your mental wellbeing over the holidays.
