Transition Arrangement
  • Pupils must be accessing at least half days on their 2 mainstream days. This needs to increase to 2 full days by week 7. Once placement moves to 3 days at mainstream these should be 3 full days.
  • For pupils who have been permanently excluded:

i) A new school should be identified prior to admission.  RT agree to make contact with families pending on-roll date; Z-code will apply for this period of time.  On-roll date upon confirmation of new mainstream school roll.

ii) CME portal completed once on-roll date confirmed.
