Sarah Moodie: (The Bell Foundation) Linguistic challenges of the transition from primary
school to secondary school.

There should be time for questions and discussion after each presentation and it is always
inspirational if practitioners share some of their successful practice which others may try.
In breakout rooms there will also be discussion about the DfE document:
