Year 6 to Year 7 English Transition Unit and Handover Pack

Year 6 to Year 7 English Transition Unit and Handover Pack 

This Year 6 to Year 7 English Transition Unit and Handover Pack is a complete upper KS2 English transition resource designed to help Year 6 pupils prepare for the move from primary to secondary school.

Ideal for use at the end of Year 6, this engaging transition pack gives pupils the opportunity to reflect on their English skills, think about what may stay the same or change in Year 7, and complete a range of purposeful reading, writing, SPaG and reflection activities.

The resource is especially useful for Year 6 teachers looking for meaningful end-of-year English work that supports secondary school transition. Pupils complete a student booklet that can be shared with their new Year 7 English teacher, providing a helpful snapshot of each child’s reading ability, writing skills, SPaG confidence, independence, learning habits and personal targets.

The pack includes editable PowerPoint lessons and a printable student booklet, making it easy to use for transition projects, leavers’ activities, summer term English lessons, secondary school preparation or Year 6 handover work.
