 Transition Handbook available
We are delighted to launch the Family Links Transition Handbook. This classroom handbook is designed to improve the experience of children during their transition from primary to secondary school. The programme aims to strengthen the emotional health of students and staff and as a result, enhance the children’s capacity to learn effectively in their first year of secondary school.
The Transition Handbook is available with training, as are other Classroom Handbooks.
