Transition

 

Children with a SEN, and those who teachers judge to need additional support, are provided with additional transition opportunities at Huntingtree, alongside the transition time provided to all pupils. The purpose of these additional transition opportunities is to increase the chances of a smooth transition to their new year group and/or phase.

 

The opportunities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  •  A ‘walk and talk’ around the playground with their new teacher
  •  A meeting with the school’s Pastoral Lead to discuss next year
  • An extra visit to their new classroom and the chance to learn about their new workspace
  • A meeting between the child’s parents and their new teacher
  • A social story about their new classroom and the adults who will be supporting
  • Thoughts and feelings work with a member of our Nurture team
  • The opportunity to visit their new teacher and show off some of their best work

 

Transition opportunities are adapted as appropriate for children transitioning from Reception to Year 1 with these plans beginning early in the Summer term to facilitate a smooth start to Year 1. 

 

We liaise with secondary schools and local nurseries closely to ensure a comprehensive hand over of relevant information about a child with SEND, and to arrange additional transition opportunities where possible.
