The big T - transition from primary school to...where... for children with SEN

[Normalpeopleworryme]

I am a teacher who is exploring the subject of moving schools. I am very interested in area of transfer of children who have Special Educational Needs from a Primary school into a secondary setting. To better understand the process it is very important I get the views of parents/ carers who have had a child with a SEN who attended a mainstream Primary, and moved to a special school between year 6 and 7.

Part of my study is a questionnaire that will take between 10-15 minutes to complete. I hope you feel you can help, so we can improve the process for children who have SEN.

Due to sample size I am really interested in views of parents/ carers in the following Local Education Authorities in England:
North East
North Tyneside
Gateshead
Durham Council
Hartlepool Borough Council
North West
Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council
East Midlands
Northamptonshire County Council
Yorkshire & The Humber
North Yorkshire County Council
Wakefield City Council
West Midlands
Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council
Stoke-on-Trent City Council
South East
West Sussex County Council
Surrey County Council
Medway Council
West Berkshire Council
South West
Bournemouth Borough Council
Plymouth City Council
London
Camden
Brent
Greenwich
Hounslow

Please click on the following link to get to the questionnaire:

The questionnaire will be open until the 29th October.

Thank you for your time

Do you mean "Transition from Primary to Secondary"

I find your first sentence in your original post confusing.

It is not the teacher who is moving schools is it?

[LucindaCarlisle]

Some children have not been diagnosed with SEN while they have been in Primary education.

Thanks.

No, it is pupils that are moving, and the reason I haven't put secondary is they move to special schools on occassion. Thanks to all who have completed the questionaire.
