Talking about School Transitions - Warwickshire Educational Psychology Service guide for parents and carers

Warwickshire Educational Psychology Service (EPS) have created a series of short webinars for parent and carers to support their child through key school transitions: Nursery to Reception, Year 6 to Year 7 and Year 11 to Post 16.

The webinars provide advice and suggestions of things to do before the transition, what to do on the first day and how to manage the subsequent weeks after transferring.

Alongside the Educational Psychologist are Warwickshire school practitioners, sharing their first-hand advice and tips on how to support a smooth transition for all children.

Gemma Gough and Sarah Healy, Specialist Senior Educational Psychologists commented that “Creating these videos have been a great way for Warwickshire EPS to support our local parents and carers at a time that can be full of new experiences and changes for many families. We hope that these short and easy to access videos will help parents and carers to feel reassured and better prepared ahead of their children making these school moves". 

The webinars are available to watch on: https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/educationalpsychology
