How we support your child through different stages of their education.

 

Moving on is part of life for all learners. St Martin’s School is committed to working in partnership with children and families and other providers to ensure positive transition for children with SEND. 

 

When your child begins school in reception:

 

• Our reception teachers will visit your child's nursery and make a home visit to ensure we know about any special arrangements or support your child needs.

 

• Our SENCO, Mrs Winwood, can meet with parents to discuss any concerns they may have and the provision or support that St Martin's school will provide.

 

• If your child will be helped by a transition book to support their understanding of moving on this can be arranged.

 

• Additional visits to school can also be arranged.

 

If your child moves to another school:

We will contact the school 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.

 

When your child moves onto high school we will:

Meet with the school SENCO to ensure that 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 passed on as soon as possible.

Where possible your child will visit their new school on several occasions and in some cases staff from the new school will visit your child in this school.

 

When moving classes in school:

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

Children will visit their new class teacher and their new classroom during the summer term.

If your child will be helped by a transition book to support them understanding moving on then it will be made for them.
