Thank you to everyone who attended our Moving On Well Transition Workshop this year! It was a very positive and productive session of sharing experience and best practices on how to support Y6 and Y7 pupils as they make the transition from primary to secondary school.
The Moving On Well Transition Workshop is for any school staff working in primary or secondary with an involvement in Y6 to Y7 transition. This includes Y6 teachers and TAs, Y7 Heads of Year, Form tutors, Transition Leads, SENCOs and any key staff working within transition.
This workshop explores how to best support pupils through their transition to succeed emotionally, practically and academically and will include:
* Differences between primary and secondary school from the pupils perspective;
* Evidence based practice supporting emotional wellbeing;
* How to maximise an effective transition
Speakers:
Jo Hardwidge, Moving On Well Coordinator, Lifecentre Salford
Beth Myring, General Manager, Lifecentre Salford
Dr Charlotte Bagnall, Lecturer in Educational Psychology at Manchester University.
This workshop was a free event hosted by the Shared Health Foundation in partnership with Lifecentre Salford, as part of our wider strategy to improve mental health support for adolescents across Greater Manchester.
