| How does the school support pupils with special educational needs through transition? | ||
| We aim to make times of transition as easy as possible for the children and young people in our school. | ||
| When starting at our school we: | ||
| • Meet with the child and their parents to talk about their needs and answer any questions about our school. | ||
| • Provide the child with a transition book that has photographs of key staff and areas around school. | ||
| • Read reports from people who have worked with the child. | ||
| • Liaise with the previous setting. | ||
| • Arrange visits to our school before starting. | ||
*Plan individualised transitions for children who require a more gradual transition into school. If a reduced timetable is required for a child to transition successfully into school, then this will be discussed and carefully planned with parents. | ||
| When moving to a new year group we: | ||
| • Introduce the child to their new teacher. | ||
| • Provide the child with a transition book that has photographs of key staff and areas around school. | ||
| • Talk to the child and their family so we can answer any questions that they may have about the new year group. | ||
| • Give adults who will be working with the child copies of their one page profile and discuss the support needed. | ||
| When moving to a new school we: | ||
| • Hold a review meeting and invite staff from the new school. | ||
| • Talk to key staff at the new school about the things that will help the child to learn well and be happy at school. | ||
| • Arrange extra visits to the new school with a member of staff from our school if requested. | ||
| • Talk to the child and their family so we can answer any questions they may have about the new school. |
