Please remember that there is lots of time to prepare your child for starting school and the most important thing is that they are excited to be embarking on their journey- not whether they can read and write from the get go! There are some useful helpsheets at the bottom of this page that will give you some guidance on the things you can do at home to help your children be ready for their transition to primary school.

The BBC also has some great information for parents whose children are starting school this year. You can access this by clicking here
