Hear what year 6 pupils say
Live Your Dreams is a dynamic and engaging transition programme for Year 6 pupils, designed to help them dispel many of the myths surrounding the transition to secondary school. The workshops help pupils examine their feelings about change and challenges them to identify behaviour patterns that can either help or hinder secondary success.
Pupils get the opportunity to discuss the kind of contribution they wish to make to their secondary school communities and consider the characteristics and attitudes needed to make these dreams a reality.
Year 6 pupils consistently report a positive change in their attitudes about secondary school brought about by the confidence and clarity that this course produces.
