Transition Time
Transition resources
To help schools support families and pupils with the transition to a new school there are a range of resources for you to share with new parents, carers and pupils. Whether beginning in Year R, moving on to Year 3 at junior school or starting secondary school there is some useful parent information on our starting a new school page.
'How Could You Travel to School?' booklet
Each year infant, junior and primary schools are sent copies of the 'How Could You Travel to School?' booklet to give to their new Year R or Year 3 parents and carers. The booklet has been produced to provide Hampshire parents and carers with a practical guide about safer, active and sustainable travel to school. It contains information and tools to help them plan their journey and find out the options available when their children start a new school.
The booklet includes a drawing competition for children to enter. Last year, children were asked to draw how their active journey to school makes them feel. To see the winners please visit our starting a new school page.
Transition journey planner information document
The transition journey planner information document offers a template for infant, junior and primary schools to detail travel information to your school for new parents and carers. This Word document provides instructions for completing each section, which can then be printed for inclusion in a new starter pack or saved as a PDF for email distribution and website upload.
Secondary School 'Just the Journey' maps
Follow this link to see if your local secondary school has a Just the Journey map to assist your leaving Year 6 pupils as they adjust to their new, independent travel to secondary school. If not, there are resources to help you create your own map.
