transition within secondary years

Transition between year groups is really important in order to build on prior learning.

All schools should be focussing on securing understanding and depth in the year group learning rather than acceleration into the following year group content.

With the current learning climate and return to school for many students it is more important than ever that mathematics is an integral element of transition processes and conversations.

Completion and discussion of prioritisation documents will aid transition for pupils in the core areas of learning. You will need to adapt the document to match the content taught in years 7 to 9.

Having some reflection on learning and teaching of the core strands in the current and previous year group will ensure a smoother transition for our pupils.

Class teachers will know:

• what pupils have been taught in previous year groups

• how they have been taught

• how effectively pupils have understood and remembered learning

The quizzes in each strand can be used to assess prior learning and identify gaps.
