This session is designed to help school staff who support pupils to transition to a new school (mainly Yr6 to Yr7 and Yr11 – college).
We have brought this session earlier this year to allow staff time to plan their own program ahead of the traditional transition period.
At this session we will share resources we have created for you to implement a thorough transition plan for all your pupils (which can also be used with pupils without an ASC diagnosis).

Our regular School Breakfast Briefings provide a valuable opportunity for school leaders from all sectors—nursery, primary, secondary, and special—to stay informed and connected.
These sessions offer the latest updates on key activities within the school service, including OFSTED and DfE information, and give leaders a chance to engage directly with local authority officers and colleagues.
The briefings are designed to improve communication, transparency, and information sharing, while fostering networking opportunities.
Each session concludes with a Q&A, encouraging open dialogue and collaboration across the Rochdale education community.
The aim from this session is to build a supportive network of schools who can share good practice.
Internal Inclusive Provision can be set up in a variety of ways but there are questions we have to consider to ensure all children are receiving the best education possible.
This is a supportive session that relies on schools happy to share with colleagues.
A simple vision document and questions to support schools will be shared at the sessions.
