Resources to support transfer and transition

    Transfer and transition

    During the academic year 2003 - 2004 CEA@Islington's Hazel House convened a series of meetings that brought together colleagues active in developing, promoting, participating in and co-ordinating a range of initiatives to support primary to secondary transfer and transition in Islington.

    Over the course of the year, colleagues supplied written details of activities they were involved in. We found the " Five Bridges to Success" model (originally presented by Gray, Galton and Ruddock in their 1999 research) useful, and some people have submitted their information under these headings, ie: bureaucratic, social, curriculum, pedagogy and the management of learning.

    A blank pro-forma for submitting information under the "bridges" headings is available by following the link below
