It is well known that students’ academic performance can take a dip as they move from primary to secondary school (year 6 to 7).

An equally crucial transition point is from key stage 3 to key stage 4 as students begin their GCSE courses of study in year 10. And this year, this transition might be particularly challenging given that this cohort of students transitioned into their secondary education in year 7 at the height of the Covid pandemic.

In this webinar, which was produced in partnership with GL Assessment, we heard from secondary schools about the work they do to support students during these two key transition points. This included lessons learned, quick-wins, ideas and advice, as well as longer-term processes and practices that can set students up for success.
