Smooth Moves

 

boysChanging schools can be a time of anxiety for parents/carers as well as children. It is important that they feel confident and equipped to support their children at this difficult time.

Our Smooth Moves programme is designed to:

  • support local authority facilitators and designated school staff, headteachers, school support staff, childcare staff, and children’s centre staff to build on existing support for parents/carers and children in preparation for transition
  • promote effective partnerships between the school, parents/carers and pupils
  • enable parents/carers to support their child to thrive at home and at school.

Smooth Moves consists of five sessions for practitioners to deliver to parents/carers, covering: change; expectations and boundaries; staying connected – communication and bullying; transition and growing up – optional sessions for parents of teenagers; and transition preparation.
