Plymouth Enhanced Transition Framework

In Plymouth, we have worked with schools to produce a framework to support children who are making the transition from early years right through to secondary school. It is called the 'Plymouth Enhanced Transitions Framework.

The level of vulnerability and their need for enhanced transition support will be identified as Universal, Targeted or Specialist.

All schools are expected to pay regard to this document when planning transitions. The tools available in the document also support children and young people moving between classes and year groups at both primary and secondary schools.

Within the Enhanced Transition Framework, there are a number of appendices that support the planning process at all levels. Please find all relevant information below.

Please also see the additional information for parents and carers whose children are due to transition from early years to primary school in the document below.

Evaluation of enhanced transition

It is good practice to review transitions and gather feedback from all involved. 

Please find below three documents that can support you in gathering feedback from pupils and families about their experience of the transition process.

There is also a document with suggestions to help with gathering views from pupils who might find it difficult to complete a questionnaire.

Transition Portal for Education

Early Years settings, primary and secondary schools are currently able to use a transition portal to share key information for all children transferring into reception year or Year 7.

For more information, please visit the School Transition - Transition Portals for Education. The Enhanced Transition Framework can be used alongside the portal.

Other useful resources to support the transition

Starting Secondary School with SEN

Moving from primary to secondary school is another transition where pupils experience a major change in the organisation and routine of the day, including, for example, moving around the school site each lesson. Please find below a number of links that offer support and advice for pupils with SEN starting at secondary school.
