Many Year 6 students had their learning disrupted over the 2020 Summer Term. This included disruption to the usual transition planning and activities before they moved to Year 7 in a new school. Schools told us that some students had poor well-being and were anxious about moving schools. The Norwich Opportunity Area team offered funding for summer school activities in 2020, to be designed and delivered by secondary schools. This could be used to support students of all ages but most secondary schools chose to focus on the Y6-7 transition year and activities designed to support these students in their move to secondary school. Some schools set up longer provision that took place throughout the summer holidays and some chose to use external providers rather than or as well as school staff.
