In the latest episode of the Tes International podcast, we chat with Claire Holmes, head of school counselling at Tanglin Trust School in Singapore.

She tells us about the school’s approach to managing pupil transitions - both arrival and departure - that occur throughout the year.

Ms Holmes explains why it’s important that international schools give due focus to “stayers” - pupils who remain in a school throughout their education and so see many friends and teachers leave on a regular basis - to ensure this consistent loss does not affect them unduly.

As part of this, we hear why she has written books designed to help schools and leaders do all of this as best as possible to ensure the wellbeing of pupils - and parents - remains a top priority.
