Transitions: Principles of Practice
The Transitions: Principles of Practice (Word doc) [941KB] is a checklist that outlines five evidence-based principles to support successful transitions.
- Refer to it with transitions at the start of the year
- Use it during any mid-year transitions
- RAG rate how confident you feel to implement each evidence-based principle - see further guidance on steps that can be taken to implement that principle in practice
- Use it alongside our Transitions toolkit which supports you to embed a whole school or setting approach to effective transitions and provides Transition timelines to help you plan events and support
Welcome Packs
Use when you need to plan a bespoke package of support around a transition, this may be for children or young people on a managed move, transitioning from an SRB or SHIP or for children and young people who have additional needs such as English as an Additional Language or Special Education Needs and Disabilities.
