Starting School
We understand that starting school is a time of change and can be a source of both excitement and anxiety for children and for their parents/carers. Positive transitions are vital for all children’s emotional well being and achievement. Below are some of the ways we support children, parents and carers starting at Cathedral Primary School:
- Induction Evening held in the Summer Term
- Parent Information packs
- Child Induction Booklets
- visual timetable of school
- Possible phased entry settling period in September
- Stay & Play and Story Time events before school starts
In order to support us further with your child's start at Rainford C E School and to encourage them to really look forward to starting please refer to the document- Helping your child look forward to school.
Below are some books that you can read with your child to help them with the idea of starting at a new school:
