Inclusion settling in support?

Does anyone have experience of this at secondary transition please? My DD has never had any concerns at primary and now I've received a message from her new secondary saying a detailed questionnaire from her primary school suggests she may need 'inclusion settling in support'. I feel really worried what it could mean since there have been no issues before.

Are her primary friends going to different schools? It might be a case of them wanting to make sure those who come up without friends settle in and find friends. Is she a child who might be daunted by the size of the place, or organising herself for lots of different teachers?
I would guess that she's on a list of "keep an eye out to check these ones settle okay".

Your child may have expressed a worry about making new friends, losing old ones and any stories circulating about the new school.

Might it be it is a questionnaire sent to all parents, to ascertain which pupils need 'settling in support ?

Or

Might it be that they have got her mixed up with another child or a similar name ?

I'd give them a ring and ask - say that Primary school have never mentioned any concerns about her socialising so you just wanted to check if this is for everyone or if they've got the wrong person.
