Change for the better

“In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or
step back into safety.” Abraham Maslow
The air in schools during the summer term is one filled with excitement and
apprehension around transitions and change. All stakeholders in our
schools will be preparing for things coming to a close and making plans for
new beginnings.
Here at Moss Lane Infant School we are facing a transition of our own;
becoming a fully-fledged member of Learning Partners. Planning and
preparation for this has been going on behind the scenes for some time and
like many children who are transitioning to new things, we are filled with
excitement but also a little apprehension of what’s to come.
At Moss Lane we view every child’s journey as being unique and we are
here to guide them every step of the way. This couldn’t be truer at times of
transitions. Staff here are forward thinking; discreetly preparing their current
classes for moving on within, and beyond Moss Lane. Effective
communication between teachers and schools is an essential element in
ensuring new beginnings work well. Conversations around the social
emotional welfare, as well as academic success of children are frequent at
this time of year. Our school vision of ‘Safe, happy, aiming high’ is the driver
for these conversations.
New beginnings provide an abundance of fresh opportunities. For many, this
is exciting and something to look forward to. For some, times of change can
be daunting and overwhelming.
Putting the right support in place for our most vulnerable pupils during
transitions can ensure the continuity of learning, and development remains.
The top of our transitions ‘job to do list’ is keeping well-being high, through
effective emotional support. This will allow relationships old and new, to
build and strengthen.
We know children, and their families thrive when they feel safe, secure and
have a strong sense of belonging. Fostering open and effective relationships
from the start allows us to build the foundations of our community.
We are always sad when children and families move on as they have been
part of our Moss Lane family, and we have spent years building and
developing these relationships. However, we are always able to ‘hand
children over’ with a sense of pride knowing they will be ready for the next
part in their learning journey.
When children, and adults, experience success through transition they will
inevitably grow in confidence and handle changes in life well. Getting this
right for our community has an ever lasting impact on their life’s trajectories.
As our academic year ends with a sense of achievement and closure, we
take with us into the summer a sense of anticipation and excitement of all
that the new academic year will have to offer. We would like to wish our
Learning Partners schools all the best as they transition over the summer
period and look forward to starting our new and exciting start journey in
becoming part of the trust.
