Transitioning between the primary and secondary phases

Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course is designed to support teachers who trained within the primary phase but who now wish to explore opportunities for teaching/working within the secondary (11-16) age phase.

Whilst QTS is not phase nor subject specific, this session aims to address some of the key areas within teaching and learning which differ between the two age phases.

This will include:
• safeguarding and pastoral support in the Secondary phase
• managing the behaviour of secondary aged pupils
• structures and assessment principles at KS3 and KS4
• learning with Secondary aged pupils
• inclusion and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in the Secondary phase

The one-off session is intended to support those at all stages of this transition from those who are considering the transition between phases to those who may be actively applying for roles within secondary settings and who feel they would benefit from some development in key areas related to the phase.
