Getting ready for school

We have written to you to let you know if your child is in Foxes class with Mrs. Fisk, or Squirrels class with Mrs. Giles and sent you a personalised induction timetable for your child. In the meantime, please use the following tips to get ready for school.

• Please look at the information listed on the right.
• Read our online welcome book.
• Fill in the All About Me sheets from the welcome pack that will be sent to you. We will let you know a safe way of sending us this information.
• Take a look at PACEY's Steps to Starting School.
• Have a go at TLC Essex's list of 50 things to do before you're 5!
• The Road to School poster is a great resource to improve your child's readiness for school. We would recommend this in conjunction with the Am I ready for school? poster.
• A Parent’s Guide to Promoting Early Learning and Development at Home (0 - 5 years) is a useful document to help you support your child's learning at home, particularly during the pandemic.
• Ask your child's nursery/pre-school for their reports. These can be e-mailed to us.
• The most important thing you can do to get your child ready for school is to read stories with them and talk to them about anything and everything! 

We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
