SEND Q12

How will Woodmansterne support my child when they are leaving this school, or when moving on to another class?

If your child is moving to another school:

• We will contact the new school’s SENCO and ensure s/he knows about any special arrangements or support that needs to be made for your child
• Where possible we will support a visit to the new school in advance of the move
• We will make sure that all records about your child are passed on as soon as possible

• Information will be passed on to the new class teacher in advance and in all cases, a planning meeting will take place with the new teacher

• If your child would benefit from having a transition book, which outlines what to expect in their new class, this will be arranged for them

In Year 6:

• If you child has a statement/EHC plan, the SENCO from the secondary school will be invited to attend the annual review or a transition meeting

• We will run transition sessions for your child to attend, which will support their understanding of transitions and any changes ahead

• Where possible your child will visit their new school and in many cases staff from the new school will visit your child in this school
