 “ It has been an absolute privilege to have worked with Cheryl and her team who have supported and delivered the pilot transition programme. We really feel that the work our Year 9 ‘Change Team’ have put in to making the programme successful, has hugely changed the way Year 6 students feel about moving to a new school, ensuring that they do so with confidence and to continue on their upward trajectories already set by our primary school colleagues. We look forward to rolling the programme out to other schools in the next academic year.”

The Head Teacher of Lanesend school wrote:

“Lanesend’s Year 6 pupils gained valuable experience from their involvement with the UFFA project. The opportunity to be involved with activities led by older pupils, who had recently been through the process of secondary transition, was invaluable. It gave them the chance to address concerns such as getting lost, or difficulties making friends and to learn self-help strategies and techniques they could use. This, along with the chance to ask questions to the pupils who ran the workshops, has made many children feel less nervous about moving on. We would like to thank Cheryl Buggy and the mature and considerate CEC pupils for a fantastic experience. “
