Date: 11 Sep 2024
SecEd, in partnership with GL Assessment, is hosting a free webinar exploring how to support students at key secondary school transition points.
Taking place online on Wednesday 2 October from 4PM, this webinar will tackle the following topics:
Primary to secondary transition (year 7):
• Why can student attainment and progress sometimes take a hit during year 6 to 7 transition?
• What can secondary schools do right now to address this issue?
• What kind of pastoral support is required?
• What kind of academic support is required?
• What information do we need to gather about new students in order to protect their learning and progress?
• How can we assess the learning level of year 7 students arriving in our school?
Key stage 3 to 4 transition (year 10):
• What specific challenges does the transition from key stage 3 to key stage 4 present? What can go wrong for students during this transition?
• How much of a step-up academically is key stage 4 study? How can schools support students in this regard?
• This year’s year 10 cohort arrived at secondary school (in year 7) at the height of Covid – what implications does this have for the support we must offer?
We will provide time at the end for audience questions. If you are unable make the webinar but would like to watch back on-demand, register anyway and we will notify you of when the recording will become available.
