Year 6 to Year 7 Transition

Personal Safety Workshops

The transition from primary to secondary school is one of the most significant changes a child experiences. Increased independence, new environments, different routines, and travelling to and from school more independently all bring new challenges.

 

Jujitsucise delivers age-appropriate, engaging personal safety workshops designed specifically for Year 6 pupils to support a confident, safe and positive transition into secondary school life.

​

These workshops focus on awareness, decision-making, confidence and practical personal safety skills, rather than fear or confrontation, empowering pupils to make safer choices as their independence grows.
