Transitions
Transitions for children with SEND can be difficult and we value the importance of working together to ensure smooth transitions.
If your child is joining us from another school:
- Please let us know on your admissions form if your child was identified as SEND at their previous school.
- The SENDCo will meet with you before your child starts to ensure the appropriate support is in place.
- We will make contact with your child’s previous school in order to discuss their needs and the provision which was made for them.
- Your child will be able to visit our school and stay for a taster session, if this is appropriate.
If your child is moving to another school:
- We will contact the school SENDCo and ensure he/she knows about any special arrangements or support that need to be made for your child.
- We will make sure that all records about your child are passed on as soon as possible.
When moving classes in school:
- During the Summer Term, your child will have an opportunity to meet their new class teacher’.
- Individual transition plans will be implemented for children who may need a longer transition.
- At the close of each school year handover meetings are held between class teachers.
