Ready for Secondary™

A Parent & Child Mini Retreat for Children Moving from Year 6 to Year 7

Saturday 8th August | 10am – 12.30pm
Reset Wellbeing, Barry
£79 per Parent & Child Pair

Starting secondary school can feel exciting, overwhelming and a little daunting – for both children and parents.

New routines. New friendships. New teachers. New expectations. This can feel exciting and nerve wracking and everything in between.

Whilst many children look forward to this next chapter, it is completely normal for worries, uncertainty and self-doubt to show up along the way.

Ready for Secondary™ is a supportive and practical mini retreat designed to help children and their parent or carer feel more prepared for the transition ahead. Giving your child a positive head start.

Together, you’ll build a practical toolkit to support confidence, communication, organisation and emotional resilience. Families will also receive a digital support pack to continue using at home in readiness for an exciting new start.
