A one-off 90 minute session for the summer term aimed at tackling the practical, physical, social, geographical, educational, cultural and emotional demands of making the transition from Year 6 at Primary School into Year 7 at a new Secondary School.

This session is ideally placed prior to the students visiting their new Secondary School as part of their July induction process.

‘It was a really honest and informative session, which the children got a lot from. Steve had an excellent manner with the children and made their understanding of the next step in their learning journey both fun and relevant to their secondary school experience. I would certainly book the session again.’ (Welwyn St Mary’s Primary School, June 2023)

Discounted summer term fee for ‘Transition Time’ is as follows:

A one-off session delivered to a single or double class:

90 minutes - £200

If I am fortunate enough to be invited into your school, it is my aim to ensure that any session delivered to your students carries with it a positive and meaningful impact on student outcomes.

At Key Stage 2, my general sessions focus on how I can have an impact on behaviour for learning. This may be developing an approach to understanding the relationship of the student with their self, with others and with the curriculum, promoting a readiness for education. For example, Mrs S Scott (Year 6 Teacher, Abbots Langley Primary School, Herts) recently said ‘Steve has a great rapport with the children. He has quickly grasped the needs of our year group and has tailored his sessions to them. The children are excited to take part in the sessions and we can already see some of them applying their learning to their everyday school life. His work around growth mindset and resilience will hugely benefit our children, not only through their school life but well into their future’.

Evaluating the explicit and implicit impact of In the Mind of the Young on your students will be often be dependent on the nature of the sessions being delivered and the frequency at which I am able to visit. I am careful that any credit for direct improvements in student attainment, progress, achievement and outcomes are attributed to the wonderful work carried out each day by school leaders, teachers and support staff. However, it is the aim of In the Mind of the Young to support your curriculum by ensuring that at the end of each session, students feel empowered to be more independent, autonomous and robust learners than when they arrived.

Matt Bromley (Sec Ed) argued that ‘test and qualification outcomes should not be the sole lens through which impact should be viewed’. Whilst I encourage your school to use In the Mind of the Young to provide broader development opportunities for your students, I always aim to strike a balance. Attainment, progress, achievement and outcomes are naturally at the forefront of the messages delivered, but if classroom climate, motivation levels and the development of character, resilience, confidence and academic buoyancy can also be enhanced and impacted by my visit(s), then I very much hope us working together would be considered worthwhile.
