Talking About Transition: Year 7 Workshops
Expert trainers to support students' transition with a focus on speaking and communication
Expert trainers from Talk The Talk will be visiting Norbury High School for Girls on Friday 21st November 2025 to work with year 7 students.
Talk The Talk’s mission is to develop students’ oracy skills and communication confidence to support positive interaction in all life situations and improved social outcomes.
Talk The Talk has trained over 115,000 students across England and Wales to be confident communicators.
The Talk About Transition workshop uses oracy-based activities and strategies to help students develop greater self-confidence and resilience. Delivered over a half-day, it's packed full of engaging activities designed to promote students’ confidence and help them build relationships with their new peers; Talk About Transition supports students in a successful transition from primary to secondary education.
"Transition to secondary school involves changes that can be both exciting and a cause of concern to students. Successful transition is vital to the development of students’ self-confidence, self-esteem and academic competence. Moving on from the safe haven of primary school - one classroom and often one teacher - to a much larger school and the feeling of being a ‘small fish in a large pond’ can cause worry and anxiety. Our programme embraces this change and allows students to talk about their concerns and how to overcome them – but also the fantastic opportunities that await them – and how best to embrace these." - Talk The Talk
