Malta: Transitions and changing schools
A planning checklist for school changes, phase transfers and moves between education settings.
Use this guide to prepare questions and evidence, then confirm current requirements with the school and the responsible national, regional or local education authority.
Start early
Ask when transition planning begins and which staff or services need to exchange information.
Transfer the support picture
Prepare a concise summary of needs, successful strategies, current support, communication needs and important professional reports.
Visit and ask
Discuss accessibility, daily routines, specialist support, transport where relevant and how the new setting will review support.
Confirm continuity
Ask what support will be available from the first day and when the first review with the new setting will take place.
Check the current framework
