Key Stage 4 to Post 16 Transition
Post 16 works closely with our KS4 staff to ensure that students have a smooth transition into Post 16. In the summer term, year 11’s can participate in Post 16 lunchtime Activity Clubs. We have well-established links with local mainstream and other special high schools, attend the annual reviews for prospective Post 16 students, exchange information and arrange taster visits and meetings to introduce new students to Oakfield Park
Post 16 Transition
During their time in Post 16 all our students engage in a range of transition experiences including visiting colleges, discussing their interests and future options and lessons about moving on after school. Where necessary, staff from social care provisions are welcomed into school to visit students to help build relationships and have discussions with the supporting staff members to help aid a smooth transition.
Staff spend time helping students understand what Post 18 will mean to them on an individual basis and work with other professionals to prepare students and their families for the future and all those involved are invited to the students’ annual review meetings. Students and parents are a vital part of transition reviews and the Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) are designed to provide holistic support along with the information contained on the local offer website.
Our Parent Support Adviser is able to address any issues and provide guidance around transition and other concerns

Our fabulous students have had a fantastic journey through Oakfield Park School, developing their independence, work and life skills, and taking part in a wide range of visits, sporting events and on‑site and off‑site activities.
