Year 7 Ready!

Summer School 2025

Now You Can Help Your Child Feel Confident and Ready for that

Big Step to Secondary School ...

Starting Year 7 is a huge milestone — for children and parents alike. We know how important it is to ease those first-day nerves, help your child settle in quickly, and give them the best possible start.

That’s why we’ve created the Year 7 Ready! Summer School in partnership with

Heart of England School — a 3-day fun experience designed to make the leap from primary to secondary feel exciting, positive and smooth.

During our summer school, your child will:

🎉 Have lots of fun

🌟 Build confidence and independence before term begins

👯 Make new friends and begin forming positive peer connections

🧭 Get familiar with the school environment, layout, and routines

💬 Develop key communication and teamwork skills

🎨 Take part in creative, hands-on activities that make the whole experience fun

🛠️ Gain practical strategies to manage change and feel more in control
