Review
The challenges relating to KS3 behaviour and achievement are always high on the list of priorities for school leaders. So often the transition process from primary to secondary school is the key to developing an engaged and happy secondary student. In this book Dave Harris tackles all the issues around transition with an entertaining an informal style that also challenges our thinking. There is a great range of examples and strategies that cover many aspects of school leadership that can help create a school where children really thrive. It includes practical advice about developing an all through model of education and many case studies of best practice combined with lots of useful resources. A great read that will inspire and enlighten you.

Dave Harris, with his usual passionate and forthright style, brings vividly to the attention of the reader issues within our education system which are so familiar they are frequently over-looked. His often humorous approach to these serious issues only helps to illuminate their deep rooted nature and the need for us all to review that which we take for granted with fresh eyes. I sincerely hope that this exciting review of our transition systems will help to ignite a long overdue discussion across the education profession and beyond which will benefit the generations of the future.

Transition is one of the weak points in educational continuity. To anyone considering cross-phase federation as a way of overcoming this problem, this book offers a rationale and plenty of practical ideas to help them on the way. It is rooted firmly in the experience of Dave Harris and his team at Serlby Park.

Product Description
With a foreward written by Gervase Phinn this book tackles transition head on. It provides countless examples of how primary and secondary schools can work together more effectively to ensure students enjoy a smooth and effective move from primary to secondary school. It advocates several different approaches to facilitating this from soft federations between schools to the all-through 3-18 solution. This practical, pragmatic text places young people at the centre of their learning and provides complete guidance on all that is needed to arrange activities between schools. The wide range of activities catered for includes: Short term one off activities for primary and secondary pupils to carry out together; Longer projects that allow primary and secondary pupils to develop working relationships; Activities which place the pupil in the role of educator for others; Projects which are ideal for collaboration between teachers with very different experiences and skills; Development tasks for leaders of schools who are keen to develop closer relationships with each other; Guidance on different routes of collaboration. Dave Harris found that working with unfamiliar age groups challenged his truths of education and reminded him why he first joined the teaching profession. The more you work with other phases of education the more clearly you view the differences and the more you understand why so many pupils suffer at transition between schools. Gives teachers practical help to remove the boundaries to progress and help rekindle their passion for teaching.
