Starting Primary School!
Starting school is an exciting milestone. To help make the transition into Reception/FS2 as smooth and positive as possible there are a number of helpful guides for you to access.
'Starting Reception' is a free, practical online resource designed to support parents and carers in preparing their child for school. It offers simple activities, helpful advice and clear guidance on the key skills and routines that help children feel confident and ready for their first day.
'Starting Reception' have also provided guides for Potty Training and Children’s Toothbrushing. Children being able to use the toilet independently and having healthy routines such as brushing their teeth is an important part of getting ready for starting school.
Please see below links to access these resources:
