An Occupational therapist, a representative from the Physical Disability Support Service and the Visual Impairment Team have all visited the site and made recommendations. Our Accessibility Plan that describes the actions the school has taken to increase access to the environment, the curriculum and to printed information is available via the school website. How will the school prepare and support my child when joining or transferring to a new school? A number of strategies are in place to enable effective pupil’s transition. These include: On entry:- A planned programme of visits are provided in the summer term for pupils starting in September. Parent/carers are invited to a meeting at the school and are provided with a range of information to support them in enabling their child to settle into the school routine. The SEND team communicates/meets as necessary with parents of pupils who are known to have SEND to allow concerns to be raised and solutions to any perceived challenges to be located prior to entry. If pupils are transferring from another school, the pervious school records will be requested immediately and a meeting will be set up with parents to identify and reduce any concerns. The SEND team visit every setting to collect information and records. This information is then disseminated to all staff. Where necessary, extra visits to Oldfields are arranged. Subject leaders meet with First School staff to discuss setting arrangements and to moderate assessment. Transition to the next school (Schedule 1: 6)
