EXPLORE

EXPLORE
is our new Southampton based transition project that supports young people in Year 6 to transfer smoothly to their new secondary school. EXPLORE works with targeted groups of individuals in three Southampton primary schools – Bassett Green, Weston Park and Mount Pleasant – transferring to Cantell and Chamberlayne Park.

EXPLORE aims to tackle the core issues of the transition from primary to secondary education through a dedicated team of staff engaged with the issues, needs and aspirations of the young people referred to the project. The project supports not only the young person, but also the whole family to ensure that all aspects and concerns around transfer are addressed. The young people will be supported to engage in a range of activities that will enable them to improve their social skills, and access wider community provision.
The programme of work takes place through:

  • INTENSIVE INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT
  • GROUP WORK
  • SOCIAL INTERACTION
  • TRANSFER
Examples of the types of work that covered are:
  • ORGANISATIONAL SKILLS
