How does Fordbridge Community Primary School prepare pupils with SEND for moving to their next class or school?

We recognise that ‘moving on’ can be difficult for a child with SEN/and or disabilities and take steps to ensure that any transition is as smooth as possible.

If your child is moving to another school:

• We will contact the new school’s SENCo 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.
• We will ensure the pupil profile is shared with new school, so new staff have an understanding of your child’s strengths and difficulties.

When moving classes in school:

• Information will be passed on to the new class teacher and a meeting will take place with the new teacher.
• If your child would be helped by a transition photo book, to support them understand moving on, then it will be made for them.
• The pupil profile along with any professional reports will be shared with the new class teacher
• SENCo and DSL will meet with new teacher and discuss child’s needs and have time to discuss strategies to be put in place.
