Introducing Your Child to a New Teacher
Your child has a new teacher or moved schools and you need to communicate their needs quickly and effectively
Steps
- Prepare a one-page 'This is [Child's Name]' document: strengths, challenges, what helps, what makes things harder, and what to avoid. Keep it positive and practical — not a list of problems
- Include: how your child communicates distress (they may not say they're struggling), how they learn best (visual, hands-on, verbal), sensory needs, any specific triggers, and one or two things the teacher can do from day one that will make a real difference
- Request a brief meeting or phone call before the new term starts, or within the first week. Even 10 minutes is valuable
- Don't wait for the teacher to ask. They have 30 children. Be proactive
- Share what worked well with the previous teacher, and what didn't. This saves weeks of trial and error
- Agree on a communication channel for ongoing updates: a brief weekly email, a home-school diary, or a termly meeting
What you need
The one-page summary prepared in advance, contact details for the new teacher or learning support coordinator, a collaborative mindset
Why it works
New teachers inherit a class of 30 children and can't possibly know each one's needs from day one. A one-page summary provides the information they need immediately — what helps, what makes things harder, and what to do on day one. It saves weeks of trial and error and prevents unnecessary setbacks.
Age guidance
Useful at every school transition from Reception onwards. Update the document each year to reflect your child's current needs.
Real-world example
A parent sent a one-page summary to their child's new teacher before term started. The teacher had preferential seating and a visual timetable ready on day one. She told the parent it was the most useful thing any parent had ever sent her.
Troubleshooting
- If the teacher seems dismissive, go via the learning support coordinator who has a formal duty to support children with additional needs
- Frame the summary around what your child needs to thrive, not what they can't do. Teachers respond better to strengths-based language
- Update the document each year — what helped at 7 may not be what helps at 10
- Keep a copy of everything you share with school. If your child moves to a new school, this documentation is invaluable
