Welcome to all parents and carers of those children who are starting school with us in September.
Transition to our school for you and your child is very important to us. We invite you for a meeting in June to introduce you to staff, allow you to meet other parents from your child’s class, present information about our school to you and give you a welcome pack. There are also opportunities for you and your child to visit their classroom, meet their teacher and participate in a range of activities. Below you can view an informative video about our school and life in Reception. There are also videos that you can show your child of their classroom and teacher reading a story. We hope that this will enable them to become familiar with their new setting.
You may have questions about how you can support your child with this transition. BBC Bitesize Starting Primary School has lots of videos and information to help support this. The following selection are those which we feel would be of importance to you:
You may be wondering what we expect your child to be able to do before they start school with us. In your welcome pack we have included a guide of all the self-help skills that we would like you to be developing with your child. In regards to academics, it is very useful if your child can recognise their name in lower case letters. Many children learn how to count to 10 through nursery rhymes. BBC School Radio has many nursery rhymes and listening games for you to do with your child and Bud's Number Garden has games to help recognise and order numbers 1-10.
