Is this right for me?
This is for you if:
✔ Your child starts state secondary school Sept 2026
✔ You want clarity and an expert, independent perspective
✔ You want calm, practical guidance and useful tools and frameworks
✔ You want the broad, national perspective - not local gossip
This is not:
✔ A parenting checklist
✔ A noisy peer-led forum of loud opinions
✔ A pressure to 'perform' as a parent or a place of comparison
✔ A subjective perspective or a place to sell you tutoring!
Is this right for me?
This programme is for you if: Your child is starting secondary school in September 2026 and you want to be informed without becoming overwhelmed. You don’t want to rely on WhatsApp rumours or conflicting advice. You value calm, thoughtful guidance over quick hacks and you want to support your child (and yourself!) as they move into the complex world of secondary school. This is not a parenting course telling you what to do or a loud forum you need to keep up with. It is definitely not a checklist to 'perfect' your child or your experience of school! It is objective, expert and nuanced - giving you the perspectives you won't get anywhere else.
What do I get?
To begin, you get instant access to the 5* rated online Secondary Transition Course. Manageable and practical video sessions to understand what really matters in the first year, how schools actually work behind the scenes and what to focus on - and what to let go of! Watch at your own pace, in any order. Most parents tell us this alone makes them feel calmer within days. Then... Ongoing guidance through the year with fortnightly Q&A sessions (submit questions, watch recordings). Monthly check-ins aligned to the school calendar and a light-touch parent community (Sept 2026 cohort). We also have occasional guest speakers offering MASTERCLASS sessions (recorded). You’re supported - but never overwhelmed.
How does it work?
Firstly, join the programme (monthly, for 9 months). Then complete the course - get instant clarity. Between now and the end of your child's first term at school stay supported as questions arise through the year No pressure. No falling behind. No need to attend live.
Do I need to attend live sessions? How much time will this take-up?
No. The course and all Q&A sessions are recorded. You can submit questions in advance and watch when it suits you. The course can be completed any time - on your commute, during lunch-breaks or evenings. The sessions are broken down into bitesize modules - giving you hours of expert, structured information as and when it suits. Ongoing support is designed to fit around busy family life and there is no expectation that you need to contribute - you are welcome to simply observe the discussions.
What if I don't find it useful?
You can easily cancel at any time and if you don't feel completely satisfied I offer a 100% simple refund!
