More than half a million pupils in England move on from junior to secondary school in the Autumn. With so many children making this change, it is understandable for parents, and their children, to be concerned about the transition ahead.

It provides clear and up-to-date information on all aspects of school life: from league tables, Ofsted reports and subjects studied, through to setting and streaming, homework, SATs, GCSEs and careers.
