In the midst of the media melee about exam standards, results fervour and what is seemingly an unwinnable battle for teachers and school leaders to succeed in such high-stakes circumstances, the important stuff about learning gets rather lost. As students excitedly open their GCSE results, I can’t help but consider the gap that appears for students between sitting their GCSEs and then undertaking further study at KS5 and beyond. Schools are under often crippling pressure to get results and such an outcome can drive the curriculum, with students becoming dependent upon the many GCSE interventions schools undertake on their behalf.
E.M. Forster famously said: “Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.” We are moving towards a system with students sitting one set of exams at KS5.

Regional Course Details. Onwards and Upwards: Successful Transition Strategies for School Libraries Course Details: The pressure is on for schools to secure the next year’s intakes and successful transition programmes are the key to attract a strong cohort of new students.
Many school librarians are involved in transition in some way or another but for many of us, it can be a bit of an ad hoc experience and often leaves us drained and unsure what impact we’ve actually had. This course is a must for everyone who works with the classic transition groups of Years 6-7. Whether you work in a primary school and want to ease your students’ paths into big school or whether you are responsible for a secondary school library and need to reach out to feeder primaries, this course will give you all the tools you need. All participants are asked to fill in a short questionnaire prior to the day to ensure specific requirements are met. Session 1: Why me? Why should the library be involved in transition?

Research into the theme:'Transition between Key Stages in Schools' Second Output Report. Section 1Research Focus and Methodology The Research Focus.
The purpose of this research study is to provide research-based evidence andinformation in relation to the theme 'transition between Key Stages (KS) in schools'.However, given that the panel has a specialist member for this theme, who will befamiliar with key works and materials, it is not the aim of this research to provide all of the research-based information. Instead, we propose to provide research-basedinformation on the gaps in specialist members’ knowledge, and provide an academicreview and analysis of such materials. Research Context. Transition between Key Stages can coincide with transfer between schools but this isnot exclusively the case.
Research Aims and Objectives. Three issues were addressed in respect of this research theme:1. What is known to be effective in enabling the transition of pupils betweendifferent institutions and phases of education? WTN01. Evaluation of the Primary and Secondary National Strategies (PDF format) 9780335238460. RR131. Transition to secondaries still needs work, says Ofsted. Too many children regress when they switch from primary to secondary school despite repeated efforts to deal with this "long-standing weakness" of the English state system, the education watchdog Ofsted said today.
Continuity between the two phases is vital to maintain high standards but schools are still failing to give it a sufficiently high priority, inspectors said in a report. While Ofsted now say that the "pastoral" side of the switch is about right, schools are not doing enough to build on what pupils have achieved in English and maths in the final year of primary school. The report was based on visits by inspectors to 32 primaries and 16 secondaries in eight local education authorities. Ministers have long recognised that key stage three - the 11 to 14 phase - needs most attention, since primary school results started to improve following the drive to boost achievement in maths and English. "The second point is to do with expectations.
