A visit gives pupils and families the opportunity to meet us, see the school and ask questions about learning and support.
Visits are arranged by appointment. Please tell us about any communication, sensory or access needs in advance so we can prepare appropriately. We will discuss your child’s interests, experiences of school and the support that helps them feel comfortable.
Where an application progresses, trial days help the pupil become familiar with the school and help us assess whether our provision is suitable.
Once a placement is agreed, we work with the pupil, family, current setting and relevant professionals to plan transition. Depending on individual needs, preparation may include photographs, information about routines, further visits and introductions to key adults.
We continue to build our understanding during the pupil’s first months at school, reviewing what is working and where support needs adjusting.
A transition plan is shaped around the individual pupil. Some young people benefit from a gradual introduction to the building and key adults, while others may find a concise plan and familiar first-day routine most helpful. We agree practical arrangements with the family and professionals involved.
