We managed transition differently this year using Thrive – here’s what happened next
In this episode, we feature Thrive® Licensed Practitioner, Dawn Wheeldon, Behaviour Manager at Conyers School, in Stockton-on-Tees. Dawn and her colleagues decided to take a different approach to transition this year by working with a group of pupils who were identified as being likely to struggle with the transition to secondary school. Dawn reveals the simple strategies she implemented and explains the striking results they have had.
