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

Leavers 2024

Our fabulous students have had a fantastic journey through Oakfield Park School developing their independence, work and life skills as well as taking part in visits and sporting events on and off-site and our students have been successful in gaining qualifications and taking part in lots of experiences and educational activities of various kinds.

Our 2024 Leavers have all gained ASDAN accreditation, and some have also completed BTEC awards. All are now looking forward to the next stage of their lives and experiences.

A really big thank you to all staff and everybody that has been involved in helping our 2024 leavers and wish them all the best for the future.
