Admission Arrangements for Children with Disabilities
School has excellent transition procedures for learners joining or moving on to the next stage of
their education. When a learner with additional needs joins our school the SENDCo meets with the
child’s parents and key persons from the previous setting and gains as much information as possible
to support them with settling into the new school environment. Children joining our Early Years will
be invited for multiple visits in the summer term, and if additional needs are identified, we will
encourage further visits. We visit children at their current setting in the summer term and then the
child in their home in September before they start in our Nursery or Reception. Transition into our
setting is gradual for all children and this is further tailored for individual children to support them
with what they are ready for. Parents are recommended to register with their local Children’s Centre
to avail of their support in preparing their children for school. We work with the Children’s Centre
and Health Visitors to ensure we are supporting children who have additional needs as much as
possible before they start with us.
The child may be invited for transition visits and may be given photographs of school and staff. If a
child joins mid-year the process is the same, depending on how much notice we have been given.
When learners move on to a new year group the necessary level of support is given. When a learner
moves onto the next stage of their education the SENDCo discusses the individual's needs with the
SENDCo at their new setting and helps the learner prepare for their new adventure. We have
developed effective links with the Junior school to ensure a seamless transition for pupils.

Reception Induction Arrangements
When your child is allocated a place in our school, there is a full induction process. All new Reception parents/carers attend an induction meeting at school; this will give you the opportunity to meet teachers and find out more information about our school. All new Reception children are visited in their home setting by a member of staff; if your child is attending a private day nursery, teachers will meet with your child's key worker. As part of transition, 'Stay and Play' sessions are organised for small groups of both children and parents/carers to attend. You will receive your child's induction timetable for September, as children are in smaller groups for a shorter amount of time to enable your child to become familiar and comfortable within the setting, the hours gradually increase until your child is attending full-time.
