In this week’s podcast Dale Pickles from B Squared is joined by Lorraine Petersen OBE to discuss how schools can support transition from primary to secondary school. During this session Lorraine will give practical examples of how to manage transition from primary to secondary school. The number of pupils who are either excluded or are not in school due to anxiety is rising in Years 7 and 8. This is often due to a poor transition process for these pupils moving from primary to secondary. For transition to work effectively, it needs to be a partnership between the primary school, secondary school, parents and carers and the pupil.
