Why Transition Matters at Cheswick Green Primary School

At Cheswick Green Primary School, we recognise that successful transitions are key to helping every child feel safe, confident and ready to learn. Transition is not just about moving from one year group to the next; it is an important part of every stage of a child's journey, whether that is from joining Pre-School, Nursery or Reception, moving between classes, starting mid-year, and then preparing for secondary school. We carefully plan opportunities for children to become familiar with new environments, routines, staff and expectations, ensuring that any worries are reduced and excitement for new experiences can grow.

Strong communication between home and school plays a vital role in making transitions successful. By working in partnership with parents and carers, sharing information and maintaining open, honest communication, we can ensure that each child's individual needs are understood and supported. Together, we build a consistent and nurturing approach that helps children develop the confidence, resilience and sense of belonging they need to thrive. At Cheswick Green Primary School, we are committed to supporting every child, every step of the way.
