Moving Up - The Experiences of First-Year Students in Post-Primary Education

The transition from primary to post-primary education is a crucial time in young people's lives. This book explores the experiences of young people in adjusting to a new school environment. It draws on a wide variety of information to present the views of the key people involved in the process, including school principals, teachers, parents and students themselves. The book uses students' own voices to explore their feelings about moving to a new school. It asks what supports, both academic and social, schools can put in place to help first year students settle in more quickly and discusses the implications for policy at both national and school levels. The book will be of interest to policy-makers, school management, teachers at both post-primary and primary levels, and parents.
