'Using drama and art helped me not to worry about getting lost at Secondary School. I feel more confident about meeting new people and making new friends.'
Aisha, now a year 7 at Prendergast Ladywell Fields

Early Years Transition (Summer and Autumn term)

Primary to Secondary School Transition
'I don't usually work with other people that I don't really know but I learnt and it was fun'
Year 7 student from Prendergast Ladywell Fields College
Making the transition from primary to secondary school can be a daunting experience. Secondary school can seem like a whole new world, a new culture, new rules, and new challenges. MakeBelieve Arts provides a number of transition programmes that cater for the needs of outgoing Year 6 and incoming Year 7 pupils.
