The Transition Board will oversee support for pupils required to move schools because of the closure of their current primary school. It will monitor transition services, ensure additional funding is used appropriately, and provide challenge and support through the autumn term 2024, with the September 2023 Year 5 cohort tracked into secondary school in September 2025.
Recommendation
Establish a Transition Board to oversee pupil transfers, support schools and families, monitor the use of additional funding, and provide political and operational oversight.
Financial impact
Additional funding will be monitored to ensure it is used wisely and properly accounted for; no amount is stated.
