How Burford School Solved Transition Stress with EDClass

We sat down with Stuart Bassett from Burford School to discuss a critical challenge: helping new students, especially those who are neurodivergent, successfully transition from small primary schools into a large secondary environment. Burford School found that the pressure of this transition led to high anxiety and difficulties with daily school attendance. Their solution? Integrating EDClass into their reintegration package. By providing a flexible online learning platform, EDClass allowed students to maintain their academic momentum from home while the school focused entirely on essential pastoral support and confidence-building. This relieved the pressure of a full-time, on-site return. Crucially, this partnership freed up significant staff manpower. The attendance team could dedicate more focus and resources to other declining students, ensuring that the school could efficiently support all pupils' progress while providing academic security. Watch now to see how Burford School successfully supported its most vulnerable students, reduced anxiety, and improved attendance! #schoolsupport #edtech #transition #nonattendance #schoolanxiety #neurodiversity #edclass #casestudy #burfordschool #education #pastoralcare
