SEND Network: Transitions With Children With SEND Into Schools
Stronger Practice Hub Event
Supporting Transitions to School for Children with SEND is a practical and supportive course for early years practitioners preparing children with additional needs for their move into school. The session explores the challenges that transitions can bring for children with SEND and offers realistic, child-centred strategies to reduce anxiety and build confidence. Practitioners will learn how to plan gradual, well-supported transitions, work effectively with families and receiving schools, and use visuals, routines, and communication tools to help each child feel safe and ready. The aim is to ensure every child is given the best possible start to their next stage of learning.
Learning aims:
- To understand why transitions can be particularly challenging for children with SEND.
- To recognise the importance of working in partnership with families and schools during the transition process.
- To learn how to use tools such as visuals, routines, and communication supports to prepare children for change.
- To feel confident in planning personalised, inclusive transitions that help each child feel safe, secure, and ready to learn.
This training is for early years practitioners and leaders working in settings or childminders in our Stronger Practice Hub area (Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, Wiltshire, Somerset, North Somerset, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire). We will also prioritise settings and childminders in areas of deprivation.
Our SEND Network offers a series of informal, online networking sessions designed for early years practitioners to come together, share experiences, and explore key topics related to SEND in early years settings. Each session focuses on a different aspect of practice, providing some specialist input and a space for discussion, reflection, and peer support. This SEND Network session will be facilitated by Springboard Opportunity Group, our SPH Partner’s who run several Special Schools in North Somerset.
