River Journey: Moving Up to Secondary or High School
River Journey: Moving Up to Secondary or High School
Help children explore their feelings about leaving primary school and starting secondary or high school.
Moving from primary school to secondary or high school is a big step. We wanted to support pupils' wellbeing as they prepare for this new chapter in their academic journey. That's why we've teamed up with BAFTA to create our River Journey Art project.
Our River Journey project will support and encourage primary school children to:
Think about and reflect on their Primary School experience
Prepare for the changes ahead as they 'sail' into secondary or high school
Explore any mixed feelings they might be having about their transition to a new school
Watch CBBC's Rhys Stephenson, BAFTA Young Presenter Elsie Adams, and actor and presenter Kia Pegg share their River Journey creations and experiences of starting secondary school:
