Preparing for Secondary School
Primary School programme
The Safety Box primary school programme is designed for year 6 pupils to boost confidence, self-esteem and most importantly teach them how to stay safe. The sessions give an informal opportunity to chat about fears and anxieties that they may have before going to secondary school. Starting secondary school is a significant time in a child’s life and can be daunting. It marks a passage into adolescence and requires major adjustments in children:
- from being the oldest to being the youngest
- carrying their bags from classroom to classroom.
- finding a different route to school
- to finding their way around a large school
- with different teachers for different subjects
A child's journey to school will probably take a new and unfamiliar route, possibly involving a longer walk, bus ride or train journey, this opens many issues relating to personal safety.
