School Readiness
Starting school is a huge step in your child's life – and it can be understandably daunting for both the child and their parents or carers.
The local authority have produced a handy leaflet to help you prepare your son or daughter for when they start school. Links to the leaflet and the website are below.
The leaflet includes a list covering everything from being able to take off their coat and shoes and being toilet trained to being able to enjoy a book and being aware of other children and making friends.
Don’t worry if your child can’t do them all by September, if that’s when they’re due to start school – it’s not a competition.
