Earlier this month, Wigan Athletic Community Trust ran a Premier League Kicks Transition Festival for primary school children who are transitioning into secondary school after the summer holidays.
Held at Wigan Youth Zone, the festival provided the chance for students to meet other people who will be in their year group, whilst taking part in activities such as rock climbing, a football tournament and workshops surrounding the topics of mental health and transitioning.
The aim of the festival was to make sure pupils feel more confident in making the transition into secondary school. They were also placed into teams based on which school they will be attending this September, giving them the chance to make friends with other pupils who will be in their year.
