Starting high school is a big transition, bringing new routines, environments, teachers, subjects and expectations. This social story is designed to help children prepare for the move to high school by introducing common changes and providing clear, predictable information about what they may experience.

The resource supports children to build familiarity and confidence with the transition, while helping reduce uncertainty and anxiety around starting a new school.

Ideal for:

• Children preparing to transition from primary school to high school

• Children who experience anxiety or uncertainty around change

• Autistic and neurodivergent children who benefit from visual and predictable information

• Supporting conversations and preparation at home, school or during therapy

• Parents, carers, educators and therapists

A practical resource to help make the transition to high school feel more predictable, familiar and manageable.
