A 15-min Year 7 welcome assembly presenting warm and practical key messages with space for adaption to your own school context. This assembly is supported by a seven part year 7 transition bundle available through Mourne Educations TES page and website.
This collection of seven transition resources has been carefully designed to support pupils of all abilities, including those with special educational needs, as they prepare for their move to secondary school. Each resource adopts an inclusive layout, accessible language, and a structured format that enables pupils to engage confidently and independently.
Together, these resources provide a comprehensive introduction to key aspects of secondary school life, from routines and expectations to navigating new environments and building relationships. They encourage pupils to explore their feelings, develop practical skills, and build the confidence needed to manage change successfully. Teachers, classroom assistants, and parents can use the materials flexibly to tailor support to individual needs, ensuring every pupil is equipped to transition smoothly and meaningfully.
The collection is designed to be used along side a student exercise book and includes:
Lesson 1 - A letter to my new teacher
Lesson 2 - My hopes and aims
Lesson 3 - My worries and concerns
Lesson 4 - Transition scenarios
Lesson 5 - Making new friends
Lesson 6 - Bullying
Lesson 7 - E-safety
Across all seven resources, the emphasis is on equity, accessibility, and empowerment. The collection ensures that every pupil regardless of need, ability, or previous experience can approach secondary school with confidence, clarity, and a strong sense of belonging.
