Examples of good practice on access to schools for education and training providers
Through the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) strengthened the provider access legislation to specify that schools must provide at least six encounters for all their pupils, during school years 8-13.
To support schools and providers, the DfE has compiled a collection of good practice examples and case studies of how the statutory duty applies in practice to enable schools and providers to understand the new legal requirements.
We have collated key resources and guidance to help you effectively support learners navigate application and recruitment processes, ensuring that they make effective transitions towards their best next step.
This resource includes a range of activities you may choose to do as part of this phase of the transition programme.
Resources support the following: Staff visits to primary schools; transition days; what to include in the transition pack; extra transition activities for those with SEND or the known vulnerable students; summer school; information sharing; website.
