You could discuss your inception visit plan with colleagues to see if they have other ideas.
You might also want to think about or discuss:
- health and safety issues (e.g. how will you keep children safe when they walk/travel to the school for the visit?);
staffing issues (e.g. how many adults need to accompany the children on the visit; how many staff need to be available to guide you at the host school?);
comfort issues (e.g. making sure the children have food and drink available; making sure you can quickly guide them to the toilets during the visit);
buddying (e.g. you might want to pair the children so they stay close to a buddy during the visit, so no one feels scared or alone). - health and safety issues (e.g. how will you keep children safe when they walk/travel to the school for the visit?);

Question 1 of 2
1. Question
The first 4 minutes of the video clip for this section focuses on inception visits. Feel free to re-watch that bit if you need to.
Look at the list of actions. Based on what you learned from the video, and your own experience, which of these should be done during an inception visit? Tick any actions that should be done. If you think an action should not be done, do not tick it.

Question 2 of 2
2. Question
You want children to feel relaxed during an inception visit. Plan the visit carefully so you know where to take them and when. Think about how long the visit will take (including the journey to and from the host school), who they will meet, which parts of the new school they will visit, what activities and games they will play, and so on.
In the box below, write a brief (and flexible) timetable for an inception visit for children who will be moving to the new school soon. In real life, of course, such a plan will be created jointly by staff from the host school and the visiting school.
