Enabling every child to be the best version of themselves
How do we support transitions?
Transitions can be a challenging time for any child, especially those with SEND. We support transitions in the following ways:
- Class teachers meet to share information about each child, including what works well and any areas of need.
- All children spend time with their new teacher during the summer term to ease anxiety.
- For Year 6 pupils, we liaise closely with secondary schools and arrange transition visits.
- Relevant information is passed on to ensure continuity of support.
- All parents of pupils with SEND are invited to meet with their child's new teacher prior to them starting the new school year.
- Sharing an individual photo booklet for parents and pupils, in order to provide pictures and answer any potential questions.
