A successful transition to secondary school allows all students and parents to feel confident, optimistic and happy about joining our family. Children will understand what is expected of them at Ark Kings and be fully prepared for the level and style of work, and be challenged to build on progress at primary school.

Dream Board

Use a few of the following conversation starters to begin a discussion with your child about aspirations:

  • Tell me about something you are good at.
  • What did you do to become good at it?
  • How long did it take?
  • What is something you would like to be better at?
  • Why is this goal important to you?

 

Create a dream board, all the things you would like to achieve during your time at ARK Kings and after you leave us!

 

Please show these to Mr Barker and Ms Thompson when start secondary school in September.

If your parents are unable to answer any of these questions, please bring them into school during your first week and hand them to your form tutor.

 

The likelihood is that many if not all pupils will have similar questions and worries.
