Research School Network: A Case Study of Effective Transition to Secondary School Facilitated by Juliet Stafford, Deputy Head at Etone College, local primary leads and Staffordshire Research School.

Transition is a time of change between classes, year groups and settings.
Research evidence that attends transition is largely focused on the move from primary to secondary. However, principles can be learned for other potentially vulnerable transition points. Several studies have shown a dip in
attainment coinciding with transition, especially in literacy and numeracy.

A Case Study of how Etone College has worked with local primary schools on different aspects of
transition, including curriculum and CPD. And a review of the EEF’s ​‘School Transitions Tool A Trio of
Challenges’.

Who it’s for? This course is suitable for Primary & Secondary Senior & Middle Leaders with responsibility for
and interest in transition.
