Transition to Changing Lives
We understand that moving to a new school can be a significant step for both students and families. Our carefully structured transition programme ensures that every young person feels supported, prepared, and confident before they begin their journey with us.
Personalised Transition Process
A structured approach to ensure every student feels ready and confident
Assessing Student Needs
Each student's Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) is reviewed to ensure that Changing Lives is the right fit.
- Prior learning levels
- Additional support needs
- Personal strengths and interests
Collaboration & Consultation
We work closely with everyone involved to gather insights and support the transition:
- Parents & carers – understanding concerns and expectations
- Current school staff & professionals
- The student – helping them feel comfortable
Gradual & Supported Transition
Once a place is confirmed, a bespoke transition programme is put in place:
- Supported visits to meet staff and explore
- Transition materials (printed & digital guides)
- Staff support from current school
Our Goal
To ensure that every student arrives at Changing Lives feeling confident, familiar with their surroundings, and ready to succeed.
