SEND transfer form
The transfer form summarises the key information about a child's special educational needs and disabilities to help the receiving school to have an overview of existing support in place.
Completing the form
- This form should be completed only for children who have additional needs. It does not replace the Foundation Stage Continuity Form
- The child may or may not be known to the Area Senco
- The child’s key person should complete the form
- The contents of the form should always be shared with parents/carers. Parents/carers can add any information they feel is relevant. It is good practice to give them a copy.
- The Area Senco can advise you on filling out the form if you need any help.
- It is important that you complete each section, and use as much detail as possible to describe the child’s additional needs and strengths

Sending the form
When the SEND Transfer form is completed and has been shared with the parent/carer it should be sent directly to the next setting/school together with the Foundation Stage Continuity Form.
