Transitional Education Service
What does the Transitional Education Service do?
The Transitional Education Service (TES) arranges educational provision for those Norfolk pupils who are currently awaiting placement at the UET Pathfinder School because they have either been permanently excluded or are children missing education (CME). We also arrange interim provision for those pupils who have had contracts terminated from alternative provision (AP) or are children missing education (CME), for example due to a move from another county or from abroad.
We do this through a multi-agency approach, working closely with our colleagues in other teams within the county council, health and colleagues in schools, colleges and AP to ensure the best planning and support for the children and young people we are working with.
Who can the TES support?
The Transitional Education Service can support children and young people from Reception to the end of Key Stage 4.
What are the Transitional Education Services' key responsibilities?
- Arranging specifically tailored educational provision to meet individual needs pending future school placement
- Working closely with the UET Pathfinder School Transition Manager to share information that ensures successful transitions into new school placements
- Providing support, advice and guidance to parents and carers of our children and young people
- Responsibility for safeguarding in accordance with current guidelines and regular welfare checks and monitoring
- Arranging one to one tuition and online tuition
- Providing information, advice and guidance about careers to year groups 10 and 11 and organisation of exam entries where required
- Designing EOTAS (education other than at school) packages
The responsibility of the Transitional Education Service ceases when a child or young person:
- Secures a place at a commissioned provision
- Moves out of county
- Reaches the end of Key Stage 4
- Is allocated a transition place - e.g. Reception to year one, KS2 to KS3
- Has a permanent exclusion (PEX) withdrawn
- Is on a pathway to specialist provision
