Transition has long been acknowledged to have an impact upon the academic,
social and emotional development of learners, which can be long lasting in effect.
Using an interpretive methodology, the voices of the three key stakeholders
involved in primary education transition – learners, practitioners and
parents/caregivers - were sought and recorded to inform good practice. Data was
collected using online and paper questionnaires, interviews and focus groups.
Findings concluded that to enable successful transition there is a need for all
involved to: prepare and plan, engage in effective communication, foster positive
relationships, and be responsive to individual needs.
