Further help and support
Key stage transfers can be an anxious time for any child but may be especially so for children with additional needs and or disabilities.
Also, after a Key Stage Transfer or during the transfer process, a child may need additional support or a change in the way support is delivered.
You may need to speak to your child's teacher or the school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), to make sure that their child's needs are understood and supported.
You can find suggestions for helping their child during this process on the following web pages:
- Supporting your child during transitions
- Support in mainstream education
- Key Stage Transfer - Frequently asked questions
