Starting school

Transitions can be a difficult time for everyone, particularly for children with SEND. This toolbox is a pack of resources to make the move into Reception as smooth as possible.

The principles of a good transition are:

  1. all children and families receive a warm welcome in their new setting
  2. feelings and relationships are at the heart of every transition
  3. transitions are well planned in advance and involve everyone working with the child
  4. everyone takes responsibility to provide timely information and works together to secure a smooth transition

In the toolkit are:

  • Reception Transition - A nursery perspective (PDF, 17KB)
  • Top Tips leaflet for parents and carers of children starting school (PDF, 911KB)
  • Transition to Primary School for children with SEND - Parent's story (PDF, 25KB)
  • A guide to understanding the transition into Reception (PDF, 669KB)
  • Questions you may want to ask when visiting a school (PDF, 48KB)
  • Attachment and Transition leaflet (PDF, 4346KB)
  • Where to get more help (PDF, 210KB)
  • Example of a One Page Profile (PDF, 87KB)
  • Guidance for parents of summer born children (PDF, 239KB)
  • Starting school with an EHC - FAQs document (PDF, 75KB)
