You know that a successful move to secondary school is very important
Secondary school is VERY different from primary. And each child is different. So, choosing the best school for THEIR child is a priority for parents. It's not just the Ofsted report. Or the league table results. It's whether the school is a good fit for THAT child. And now, more than ever, parents need help with that process.
Parents ask schools for advice. But where can they get it?
WHAT do they need to know? WHERE can they get the information? WHAT does it mean? WHO should I listen to? And, WHAT should I do?
Parents are overwhelmed and anxious and often turn to their child's teacher, or school, for advice. You'd like to help, but...
You are SO short of time!
Can you spend hours checking websites? When you're buried in marking, parent evenings, staff meetings, lesson planning...
NO! So now, you can help parents to help themselves. Recommend the primary2secondary support programme to local primary schools... and show your forward-thinking approach to education.
