The transition from primary to secondary school is an important life transition that can affect children’s attainment and wellbeing in the longer term (The School Transition and Adjustment Research Study, STARS, 2013). The school environment and the connection of parents and children to their school are implicated in a range of positive outcomes for young people (The School Transition and Adjustment Research Study, STARS, 2013).
Effective interventions delivered during transition periods can have long lasting positive effects (Gottfredson and Hussong, 2011).
At Archbishop McGrath we aim to ensure that for each child, the transition is as smooth and stress free as possible.
