Transition Plan

Transition plans aim to support and improve links between secondary schools and feeder primary schools with a specific focus on working together to support coherent learner progression, support the overall needs and well-being of the learner and ensure appropriate pace and challenge in a school’s approach to progression when developing their curriculum and assessment arrangements.

Under the 2022 Transition Regulations governing bodies of maintained secondary schools and feeder primary schools must jointly draw up a single transition plan to support transition of learners from Year 6 to Year 7. Provision for individual feeder primary schools within the plan can be different, but there must only be a single plan held by the secondary school.

Transition plans must be published on or before the beginning of the school year they are intended to apply to.

This transition plan has been created to support schools in creating their own transition arrangements. Content of the transition plan must reflect the context of individual secondary schools and feeder primary schools.
