This useful document was put together by the support team based at the Pines in Inverness. They have pulled together some useful links for supporting pupils on their return to school in August.

We have recently been reviewing all our transition documents, templates and tools, taking into account recommendations from Realising the ambition: Being Me.
We realise that there is a lot of work going on around transitions nationally and locally due to the impact of COVID-19 but wanted to update and add to our range of documents.
Things may look different after the summer but there are some things that will stay the same. Preparation still needs to go on around sharing information on children’s needs and planning as best we can how to meet those needs.
How beginnings and endings are managed is important for our wellbeing, our sense of connection and belonging.
The circumstances which led to the rapid closure of schools in March meant that we were limited in the work we could do to plan for and support the transition out of school and to home for what was to be an unknown and extended period of time. During this time of school closure education staff have been acutely aware of the impact of inequality for some of our families, especially those with identified additional support needs.
