Using the cLC to tackle transition between primary and secondary
Calthorpe Park School in Hampshire have been using their cLc to tackle the needs of students which arise during transition from Year 6 of primary school into Year 7 at secondary.
The Year 7 students have used the features of the cLc to present information about the curriculum and social events in school for prospective students, as well as setting up a forum to allow new students to ask questions about their new school which could be answered by existing students.
While this example tackles the natural transition at the end of the academic year into a new school, the model could easily be adapted to be used on a whole school, or even individual class level, to give SCE pupils and students the opportunity to have a 'look in' at the new school/class they will be joining at whichever point during the school year their move takes place.
Setting up an area such as this one would require students to focus on many different skills and competencies, and would lend itself to a short term or on-going project, a task for school councils perhaps or an assignment for ICT clubs.
If you already have something like this operating in your school, please let us know the details so that we can share your good practice with other SCE schools, or if you would like to have a go at setting one up and require some start-up assistance, please contact claire.margerison@sceschools.com.
