Learning for the Head, Heart and Hand

How will you support my child transitioning from one year group to another or on to a new school?

We recognise that transitions can be difficult for all children, including those with SEND and take active steps to ensure that any transitions are as smooth and sympathetically managed as possible. 

 

If your child is moving to another school: 

  • We will contact their SENCO and ensure the sharing of information about any special arrangements or support that need to be made for your child. 

  • We will ensure that all records are passed on as soon as possible. 

  • We will arrange meetings with key staff to share best practice for your child. 

  • Where an EHCP is in place, additional transition meetings will be arranged. 

 

When moving classes in school : 

  • Your child’s class teacher will ensure that information will be passed to the new class teacher in advance and a planning meeting will take place between the relevant class teams 

  • Transition afternoon events are organised when all children move up to their new class before the end of the school year. 

  • Individualised transition work will take place led by the class teachers where needed.
