Free lesson to download for SEND Transition 

Life Lessons recognise the importance of additional support for our most vulnerable students transitioning out of Primary School. They have developed a child-led intervention, supporting them to consider their emotional, physical and educational needs and examine their strengths and skills. This will help them to feel confident with the increased independence and changes in Secondary Schools.

The resource utilises Life Lessons popular narrative, discussion and reflection elements, as well as providing space for parents and other school adults to be part of the conversation. Implementation guidance notes are included.
