Starting school in September 2020 - essential information
Welcome to Writtle Infant School! We're so glad that you and your children will soon be part of our school. Things are very different this year so it is really important that you read our Covid-19 new procedures for September 2020 in full. Please ensure you have logged into ParentMail and Tapestry to ensure that we can keep in touch over the summer holidays. Other pages on our website that will be very useful to you are Uniform, Health and Wellbeing, School Meals and The School Day. Any changes to our usual practice have been highlighted at the top of the page. There are further links on the right which should answer any other questions you may have. Otherwise please contact us if there is anything else you are unsure about.

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!
