The transition year offers Pupils
a broad educational experience with a view to the attainment
of increased maturity, before proceeding to further
study. It provides a bridge to help pupils make the
transition from a highly structured environment to one
where they will take greater responsibility for their
own learning and decision-making. Pupils will participate
in learning strategies which are both active and experimental
and which help them to develop a range of transferable
critical thinking and creative problem solving skills.
The Transition Year provides an opportunity for pupils
to reflect on and develop an awareness of the value
of education and training in preparing them for the
ever-changing demands of the adult world of work and
relationships.
