How we support children/young people with SEN starting at our school
New starters for Nursery and Reception children are provided with the following opportunities:
- Parent Open Information meeting
- Children’s visits the half-term before starting Nursery
- Children’s visits to Reception class in the Summer Term
**Please note that all transition meetings have taken place after-school to follow COVID regulations**
We are extremely flexible and are prepared to organise extra transition sessions or meetings with external agencies to make transition as easy and stress-free as possible.
How we support children/young people with SEN moving between classes in our school
We benefit from being a small school as all staff know every pupil. Transition from each Year Group is therefore easier for the children as they already know their new class teacher. We also have a transition day so children are familiar with the new classroom environment and organisation.
How we support children/young people with SEN leaving our school
We work in partnership with our feeder secondary schools to provide an enhanced level of transition for those who we feel would benefit from this. This may take the form of additional visits for pupils or one to one / small group working with secondary school staff.
The period of transition depends on the individual needs of the pupil. If it is felt appropriate secondary school colleagues will come into school to meet the current class teacher, parents and most importantly the pupil. We have found this strategy particularly useful in easing any worries or concerns parents and pupils may have.
If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
