# Transition Research

Our Transition Team welcomed school leaders from our Kingsway feeder schools and colleagues from the University of Manchester to look at ELT’s Primary Outreach Programme which supports the transition to high school for our primary pupils.

We have partnered with the University of Manchester, who have developed, piloted and are now validating a scale to measure children’s emotional wellbeing over primary-secondary school transitions. This scale is called the Primary-Secondary School Transitions Emotional Wellbeing Scale (P-S WELLS) and will provide schools with insight into:

(1) which aspects of moving to secondary school children are experiencing emotional difficulties with
(2) who might be particularly vulnerable
(3) what support could be useful, on a universal, whole-class basis, but also on a targeted 1:1 or group basis
