The transition from primary to secondary school is a significant milestone in a child’s educational journey. It’s a period that often brings a mixture of excitement and anxiety as children face new environments, different routines, and increased academic pressure.
Amidst these changes, theatre and drama can play a crucial role in supporting children’s wellbeing… providing them with tools to navigate this transition with confidence and resilience.
