Help your child feel ready for secondary school.
The summer before Year 7 is a chance to build independence, confidence and the core skills children need for a smoother start at secondary school.
The biggest jump is not only academic. Children also need organisation, confidence and the ability to try a problem before asking for help.
A light refresh keeps knowledge warm without making summer feel like school. Focus on basics that unlock many subjects.
Practical plan
Practise 15 minutes of maths three times per week.
Read for 20 minutes most days.
Write one short paragraph summary after reading.
Build one creative project, quiz or app before September.
Most children benefit from short, regular practice rather than long study sessions. Around 15 to 25 minutes on weekdays is plenty for many families.
Maths, reading and writing are the best foundation. Coding and AI projects are also useful because they build problem solving and confidence.
Yes. Applaa combines academic practice, AI tutors, coding lessons and creative app building so children keep learning without feeling stuck in worksheets.
