Key stage transfers for children with an EHC plan

Parents and carers must fill in a key stage transfer form when a child with an EHC plan moves to a different school or education setting:

  • to start in reception
  • at the end of year 2 (only for separate infant and junior schools)
  • at the end of year 6

If the child is aged 16 or over and is applying for a college or sixth form place, they must apply directly to the college or school.
