The Transition Project is a programme for training and supporting primary school staff in working with parents to build strong relationships, good two-way communication, effective support, and involvement in their children’s education from the outset.

This report presents findings from the first phase of this evaluation. Its particular focus is not simply to repeat the earlier review, but to focus on identifying what might be learned from the Project about how schools and teachers can be supported to enhance their work with parents.
