SEND Transition

How we support children/young people with SEND starting at our school

We recognise that transitions can be difficult for a child with SEND and take steps to ensure that any transition is a smooth as possible.

If your child is moving child 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:

Information will be passed on to the new class teacher in advance and transition meetings take place with the new/existing teachers. SEND support plans are shared with the new teacher. Staff are invited to attend weekly Inclusion Meetings for help and support.

In Year 6:

There are a range of transition meetings between primary and secondary school staff. It may be necessary for pupils and parents/carers to attend transition meetings. Secondary school staff are invited to attend Statutory EHC reviews for pupils in Year 6.

Focused learning opportunities about aspects of transition are provided by the primary and/or secondary school to support their understanding of the changes ahead.

Pupils will visit their new school on several occasions and in most cases, staff from the new school will visit your child at Ribbon Academy.

Additional visits can be arranged for children who need extra time in their new school.

Place2Be may run transition groups if there are a number of pupils with similar needs and/or concerns. Consent to attend such groups will always be sought by Place2Be.
