Online Resources

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to reduce our face-to-face delivery and delivered services online to schools and colleges.

We will continue to add a range of resources that support with transition to high school, careers and work skills.

Please find below a list of our resources which are being made available and don’t forget to keep checking back for more updates.

The Boost Transitions workbook aims to support year 6 pupils through what may be a challenging time for them due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The first part of the workbook uses themes from the ‘Boost Salford’ mental toughness programme and contains activities which will encourage positive thinking, goal setting, managing emotions and conflict resolution. The second part of the workbook comprises of activities which will address a number of concerns and uncertainties the children may have about moving up to high school.

There are 3 versions available:

• A printable workbook version (PDF), which can be found below.
• An on-screen instructions version (PDF), which can also be found below.
• An interactive Google Slides/Google Classrooms version which can be requested by emailing katie.taylor@salfordfoundation.org.uk

In addition to the transitions workbook,  we have created a number of guidance videos which some children may find useful. Each video explains in more detail, how to complete a small number of tasks from the workbook, giving opportunities to pause and complete the activities one at a time. The videos each explain around 30 minutes worth of activities.
