Supporting Year 6 Children with Exam Stress – Parent & Carer Workshop

Date: 11th Mar 2026 @ 10:49am

We were pleased to host a workshop for our Year 6 parents and carers delivered by I-Reach. The session focused on how families can support children as they prepare for upcoming assessments and manage any exam-related worries they may experience.

The workshop provided practical advice on recognising signs of stress, helping children feel calm and confident and creating supportive routines at home during the lead-up to exams. Parents and carers were also given strategies to encourage positive thinking, healthy study habits and open conversations about how children are feeling.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to such a positive and supportive discussion. Working together helps ensure that our children feel reassured, prepared and confident as they approach their exams.

For those who were unable to attend, or for anyone who would like to revisit the advice shared during the session, I have attached the helpful tips sheet on supporting your child, which was provided at the workshop.

If you have any further questions or would like additional support, please do not hesitate to get in touch. 

Thank you for your continued support.

Love from Ms Mitchell and Mr Houston x
