ABSTRACT
As time goes on it becomes increasingly clear that the days of simply seeing the children out of the door at the end of primary schooling and
waiting for a new cohort to arrive in first form are very much over. The theme of partnership in providing the best education for each child pervades all of education and the transition from primary to secondary is a clear example of its importance. This chapter aims to cover the main issues that primary and secondary school partnerships need to consider when assessing their own transition and induction arrangements through in-house audits. The context and content of an audit related to Year 6 and 7 issues are examined in detail and various areas for investigation and questions to be asked are suggested. The chapter includes examples of how an audit may be conducted and how the ensuing information may be used to construct action plans.
