Starting secondary school is an important step in every child’s school life. It can be daunting, exciting and potentially overwhelming. Making sure that your child knows what a school day involves and where things are is a big help. Kitting them out with a dictionary and the school books they need is also a great way to start.

TOP TIP: Make sure your child has somewhere suitable to work, away from distractions, where it is quiet and they can concentrate.

TOP TIP: When it’s exam season help your child create a revision timetable so they can focus on areas they need the most help. Make sure to include plenty of breaks so they’re not studying for long periods of time.
