The move from primary to secondary school is an exciting time for children as they step from one phase of education into another – a new phase that leads to increased independence in learning, and presents new challenges and fresh opportunities to achieve and make progress. This DVD, produced by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, is designed to help parents and carers to get involved in their children’s learning.
The Getting Involved DVD helps you, as parents and carers, to continue the successful role played in your children’s education so far. You might wish to view it yourself first, before watching with your child. Use it as the basis for discussing how you can continue to support them as they start their new school, and help them to make the most of the new opportunities.
