When children start school much effort is made to make sure that new children are as happy and confident as possible. For children with special educational needs or a disability we may facilitate a phased start. This helps children to adapt to their new surroundings gradually. Meetings and discussions will take place between parents and teachers to ensure that we understand the needs of your child and any special provision necessary is put in place.  A close relationship needs to be created between school and home, so we can work together to ensure that your child receives the very best support and provision.

When a child transfers to secondary school, staff liaise closely with each other and share information to ensure a confident start is made at the new school.  Records are transferred and additional transition visits are arranged if necessary
