Transition
We aim to make times of transition as easy as possible for all children in our school.
When starting at school we:
- Meet with the child and parents to talk about their needs and answer any questions about school.
- Meet with staff of the child’s previous setting.
- Provide the child with a transition book that has photos of the key staff around school, as necessary.
- Read reports from people who have previously worked with the child.
- Arrange visits to our school so the child gets to see it before they start.
- Give any adults working with the child a one page pupil profile describing the things that help to support them in school.
When moving to a new year group we:
- Introduce the child to their teacher individually.
- Provide the child with an updated transition book that has photographs of the key staff and areas around school to look at during the holidays, as necessary.
- Talk to the child and their family so we can answer any questions they may have about the new group.
- Give any adults working with the child a one page pupil profile describing the things that help to support them in school.
