Goodbye Year 6!

 Helping our Year 6’s find their voice as they prepare for high school

As part of our transition programme for Year 6 into 7, our students are about to dive into the powerful and thought-provoking novel Quiet Storm by Kimberly Whittam. The book follows the journey of Storm, a quiet, thoughtful girl navigating the challenges of secondary school, friendships, and finding confidence in her own voice.

We chose Quiet Storm for this year’s transition read because it beautifully captures the emotions many students feel as they prepare to leave primary school. Storm’s story is one of resilience, courage, and growth—offering a reassuring reminder that it’s okay to feel unsure, and that confidence doesn’t always have to come from being the loudest in the room.

The transition to secondary school is a big step, and Quiet Storm is helping us make that leap a little gentler—and a lot more inspiring.
