The effective management of the transition of pupils from one school to another is a key responsibility both of schools and of the Local Authority. A consistent county-wide approach to the transfer of information is especially important for schools which draw their intake from a large number of schools, and for those which send pupils to several different schools.

Click here for the updated Local Authority procedures on transfer which reflect any national changes. There is a statutory requirement to use the Common Transfer File. These notes will ensure that schools meet the statutory requirements for transferring information about pupils to receiving schools, and will help towards continuity of curriculum experience for pupils transferring between different phases of school.

The guidance document is also available on the Norfolk Schools website, in the Leadership & Management section.
