What arrangements does the school make when a child joins the school?
At St George’s Catholic Primary School, we work closely with local pre-schools and secondary schools in order to ensure a smooth transition between educational settings.
If your child is joining us in Reception with identified needs, we will:
- Invite you and any other professionals involved to a meeting with the SENCO prior to your child starting at our school
- Liaise with your child’s pre-school
- Invite your child to attend transition sessions.
- Visit your child in their pre-school setting (where possible)
If a child with identified SEN transfers to St George’s from another school,
- Parents are invited to meet with the SENCO to discuss the needs of the child and to find ways to make the transition as successful as possible.
- Efforts are made to contact the previous setting to obtain all records and information as soon as possible
