All resources
Class Handover Document — End-of-Year Template
The document the outgoing class teacher fills in for the incoming one. Captures every child's academic level, social map, vulnerabilities, family context, and the one thing the next teacher absolutely must know. Saves the new teacher a half-term of figuring it out.
Transition Day — Running Order Template
A planning template for the in-school transition day at the end of the summer term — when children spend a morning with their next year's teacher. Sample running order, ice-breaker activities, parent-facing letter, and what the lead teacher needs to prep.
End-of-Year Memory Book — Keepsake Template
An eight-page keepsake memory book children fill in with photos, autographs, drawings and memories of the school year.
End-of-Year Reflection — Universal Pack
A reflection booklet children fill in at the end of any school year — proudest moments, favourite books, friendships and what they want to remember.
First Day Back After Summer — Activity Pack
Six activities for the first day back in September — designed to ease children in without overwhelming them, and give the new teacher useful information about their class. Low-stakes, structured, calming.
Meet Your New Teacher — Welcome Letter Template
A teacher-side template for writing a warm welcome letter to incoming students before September starts. Customisable to any year group.
Reception to Year 1 Transition Pack
The single biggest transition in primary — from play-based EYFS to a more structured Year 1 classroom. Activities, parent letter, classroom routines, and EYFS-to-KS1 staff handover sheet for the gentlest possible move.
