As part of the study, we have spoken to children, young people, parents and carers about their experiences of school moves. They have told us about the many different reasons children and young people might move school. They have also shared some of the things they have found challenging or helpful for supporting them in the process.
Based on the findings from the School MOVES project, we have developed a resource for parent/carers and children/young people, which includes some of this information. The purpose of the resource is to support children and young people and their parent/carers, who are either considering or in the process of moving school. The resource includes key information about school moves, which are helpful to be aware of. It also has stories and advice from other children and young people to understand their experiences.
We are currently in the process of piloting the resource and therefore it is not yet widely available.
If you would like to find out more about when it is released and how you can access it, you are welcome to contact the research team.
