Over four afternoon sessions (12:30pm to 3:00pm), our incoming SEN pupils took part in a carefully planned transition programme designed to help them feel confident and excited about starting at their new school.

The sessions included activities centred around "All About Me", giving pupils the opportunity to share information about themselves and begin building relationships with staff and peers. Pupils also enjoyed a tour of the school, helping them become familiar with key areas and routines before September.

To support pupils in getting to know the school community, they took part in a range of staff quizzes and interactive activities to learn who staff members are and how different aspects of school life work. They also had the chance to experience a variety of lessons, including English, where they created their own evil villains; Dance, which incorporated martial arts-inspired movements; and Science, where pupils safely explored the use of Bunsen burners.

As part of the transition experience, pupils were able to trial lunchtime routines, helping them become familiar with the dining hall environment and expectations.

We are incredibly proud of all the pupils who attended. Their enthusiasm, participation and willingness to embrace new experiences were fantastic to see. To celebrate their achievements and commitment throughout the programme, every pupil received an ice lolly at the end of the final session.

We look forward to welcoming them back in September and wish them a happy and restful summer.
