Your Role

Children’s education begins at home with their parents, carers and family members. When children start school, teachers build on this learning.

There are always things that you can do to help your child with their learning. Promoting independence is important, for example, teaching your child how to put on their own coat and using the toilet independently. Please take a look at the Curriculum pages of our website where you will find information about key teaching and learning that takes place throughout the school year. Throughout the year, teachers will send home newsletters informing you about the teaching and learning that is going on in school. Please read the newsletters and help your child in any way that you can.

We value the importance of Early Reading and it is important that our children enjoy, listen attentively to and respond with comprehension to familiar stories, rhymes and songs. Please read with your child as often as possible, sharing bedtime stories and listening to them read their reading books when they are in Reception.
