o Appendix 2 - Transition Profile for Pupils with Behavioural, Emotional and Social
Difficulties (Form TP)
This is not just a ‘transition’ profile. It is an assessment tool that considers five areas of
development that impact on a pupil’s attitude and approach to learning. It uses positively
phrased statements which can be used to formulate individual targets for pupil
programmes. The project explored options for staff completing profiles (individually and
then collated; as a whole staff team; key staff pairs).
The rating scales can be used as pre and post intervention measures.
Although the front page references the author’s use of an overall score as an indication of
readiness for a mainstream school environment, it is recognised that this is a crude usage
of a tool that provides far greater scope for analysis.
The profile is used routinely by both Cicely Haughton School and Loxley Hall School –
affording the opportunity to monitor across settings.
o Appendix 3 – CHS Transition Follow-Up ( forms)
Copies of the semi-structured interview schedules which were used to gather information
on a cohort of pupils who had left Cicely Haughton School. The information gathered
informed this document. The framework could be adapted and used by other schools to
monitor the effectiveness of their own transition work.
o Appendix 4 – Alternative front page for Transition Profile
This is an alternative front page for use when the Transition Profile is used for follow-up.
