Post COVID-19 transition Guidance Information for all phases
For Year 6 moving to Year 7 and post 16 moving to Higher Education
The receiving KS3 setting will need to share their risk assessment with feeder primary schools.
The feeder primary schools will need to communicate to parents and children in Year 6 the expectations of the KS3 setting.
Lateral Flow Tests (LFT) will be an integral part of the Common Induction Day (CID).
Children and young people will need to be shown a LFT and possibly how to use one. This should be revisited regularly from now until the CID.
IDS have links to resources and social stories to help children with additional needs. These children may need extra preparatory work in order to get them ready for CID. Again, IDS have fantastic resources to support this.
Children should be encouraged to have their own hand sanitizer for Common Induction Day, which can be used throughout the day.
Talk with children about wearing face coverings, if they are still in place. The children could make one in school to take with them on CID.
Social distancing will be even more critical if face coverings are no longer required. Teaching children about maintaining a safe distance at all times will be very important.
Many schools have virtual tours and websites, please encourage the children to access these.
The same practice applies to post 16 moving to HE in terms of lateral flow testing and following guidance.
