Transitioning to Mainstream or Specialist SchoolWhen, How, and Why — Making the Right Move for Your Child
Deciding what comes after an early years or primary placement is one of the most important and sometimes most overwhelming choices a parent can face.
This webinar is designed to help families understand the key differences between mainstream and specialist school placements, and how to recognise which environment may be the best fit for your child’s next stage.
We will explore:
- What to consider when choosing between mainstream and specialist settings
- How to assess whether your child is ready for a transition and what “readiness” looks like
- How First Bridge supports this decision-making process in partnership with families and professionals
- What a successful transition looks like, and how to prepare for it emotionally and practically
- How EHCPs and local authority processes factor into the transition plan
Whether your child is approaching the end of nursery, reception, or primary stage, this session will give you the knowledge and clarity to plan ahead with confidence.
Join us to explore your options, understand the pathways available, and feel empowered to make the right choice for your child’s future.
