The publication reports on a research study which identified evidence and materials that relate to transition and transfer between and within schools in the UK. In conducting our meta-analysis of materials, we paid particular attention to the following themes: * A definition of the issue, in this case 'transition', by outlining its nature, scale and history and the factors that contribute to it; * Identification of what local authorities should be seeking to achieve, in terms of overall aims or objectives, in promoting 'smooth' pupil transition, * An outline of the issues involved in addressing pupil transitions which will affect the local authority's ability to develop and/or implement an appropriate response; * A descriptive baseline of current practice based upon available quantitative and qualitative data; * The essential characteristics of an approach that ought to constitute 'Best Practice' based upon normative considerations as well as empirical observations.
