The transition from primary to secondary school can feel overwhelming, as students face a significant increase in academic expectations and responsibilities. This step up can be particularly challenging, and some students may require additional support to adjust effectively.
Focusing on core subjects, in particular, can help boost their confidence and refine the skills necessary to stay on par with their peers. As they enter Year 9, the workload ramps up, and the pressure to perform increases as they prepare for their GCSEs. At this stage, having a strong grasp of their subjects is crucial, not only to excel academically but also to build the foundation for future success.
Tailored support during these critical years can make a meaningful difference in a student's ability to thrive both in school and beyond.
