This free 10-page Guide To offers a range of tips and ideas for how primary and secondary schools can work together to support effective transition work, including a term-by-term 'transition calendar' of proposed activities

Spanning from year 5 to year 7, the transition calendar includes suggested ideas, tips and activities for schools, including real-life examples.

The guide – which has been published jointly by SecEd and Headteacher Update – also advises how primary and secondary schools can work together on crucial areas including curriculum continuity, parental engagement, and pastoral support.

We consider how we might identify and support vulnerable pupils during transition and into key stage 3 and look at other common challenges and suggested solutions.
