Starting School in September 2022

Welcome to Writtle Infant School! We're so glad that you and your children will soon be part of our school. You might have already watched this video but if you haven't, it's a great introduction to the school and gives you some tips on how to get ready for your child's first year!

 

Click here to download the presentation given at our induction meetings on 14th/15th June 2022.

Please use the following tips to get ready for school.

• • Please look through the web pages listed on the right. Any changes to our usual practice are highlighted at the top of the page.
  • Read our online welcome book.
  • Fill in the All About Me sheets from our Welcome Pack 2022.

• 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.

Remember, the single 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!

Finally, please contact us if there is anything else you are unsure about.

We look forward to meeting you!
