dc.description.abstractBackground: The purpose of the study was to maximize pupils' progress in science across transfer from primary to middle school by increasing continuity of curriculum and pedagogy, and collaboration between teachers. Aims: The main aim of this development work was to maximize pupils' progress in science across transfer from primary to middle school by increasing continuity of curriculum and pedagogy. Methods: The participants included support staff, headteacher, middle leader, National Strategies consultant, SLT, SIP, subject leader, teacher, local authority staff, and senior management. Teachers from all three schools jointly planned and delivered a transition unit exploring animal habitats. They moderated work across schools to increase consistency and developed self-assessment skills. They also increased teacher visits, liaison meetings, and surveys to measure progress. Findings: The main findings of this case study are that collaboration between Year 4 and Year 5 teachers increased the consistency of delivery of AfL elements and progression in the development of skills for learning, resulting in increased rates of pupil progress and enthusiasm for science. Implications: The findings suggest that increased collaboration between primary and middle school teachers, joint training in AfL, and increased visits to partner schools can lead to increased pupil progress, enthusiasm for science, and improved teacher understanding of each other's approaches to teaching.en
