“Our focus on tailoring teaching and learning at Key Stage 3 recognises the problems that starting secondary school can bring. However there are other specific actions that schools and parents can take. Sharing pupil information between schools, continuity in curriculum, teaching and learning, and behaviour policies, and the full engagement of parents are of critical importance.”

Quotation 3
“During their school years, children should grow from relative dependence on their parents and teachers into mature learners, with the skills to adapt to changing demands. Society’s aspirations for them are expressed in the outcomes of the Every Child Matters Framework: be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well-being.”
