Transitioning to Primary School

Additionally to our paper pack sent to our new parents, on our Class Dojo page we are providing additional information and guidance on how to support your child on starting school! We will be adding a selection of different activities and resources to help children and their parents feel confident and ready for this transition.

This Includes: 

 - Video tour of the school made by our Wrens children, discussing all of the parts of the school they feel are important

- Video Messages from staff to children and their parents

- Information on Growth Mindset and how to develop a growth mindset in your child.

- My first day at school - An interactive social story game all about starting Reception

- Tips to support the building of independence in children before starting school in September

- Wiltshire's Top tips for you and your child starting school leaflet
