Below is a resource bank of materials designed specifically for parents and carers to work through with their child before they start school to help prepare them for what they could expect and to equip them with important vocabulary and sayings to help them communicate their needs to others.
These resources are designed to be shared with parents and carers when registering at the school, with the expectation that they go over these guidelines and resources with their child in preparation for their first day at school.
