Outline

A new network group, with participants identified by individual schools as most appropriate, will be formed for a one-year development on enhancing transition processes.

A number of people within schools are involved in different ways with transitions, have had training in supporting transitions and have developed a range of expertise to be shared and build upon.

Concern has been expressed about transitions from KS2 to KS3 and from KS4 to post-16, as well as more general issues about the whole range of transitions that pupils experience within their school life.

The group would seek to draw together expertise and experience to develop a fresh approach to support transitions for all pupils but with a particular emphasis on vulnerable pupils. The group will participate together in some shared training on the specific issues for pupils in transitions and the theoretical background to the process. This would be generally applicable in enhancing capacity to manage change in all contexts.
