School Transition

This page has advice, guidance and support about how you can support your child and prepare them for transition to Primary School.

Follow the link below to a useful page about how you can do little activities at home that will help your child be ready for starting school:

Home - Starting Reception

If you are unsure if your child is on the right pathway for transition to Primary School then please speak to your child's Key Person or Miss Chopdat as Nursery Teacher. The staff know your child well and will be able to let you know if there are any gaps that you can work on at home.
