The period before a child starts school for the first time can be an anxious time for parents. 

We hope that the information below may help you and your child to prepare for this exciting time in your lives! 

Below we have a powerpoint presentation on what being "School Ready" means as well as some document full of useful hints and tips when preparing for and when starting school.

Our colleagues at the School Nursing Team have also provided a powerpoint with information on what to expect when your child starts school and the support they will provide.
