Transition to School
Starting school will be one of the ‘big milestones’ in a child’s life. At Milton Primary School our aim is to
provide you with information and ideas that will help both you and your child
make a smooth and successful transition into school life. Two key aspects of our transition to school
programme include Friday Funtime and School Visits:
.
We are happy to help all children to learn with confidence and be ready to start school by:
- Helping to make a smooth and enjoyable transition to school
- Developing children’s readiness for school in literacy, numeracy, and social skills.
- Showing parents how they can assist their child at home, in preparation for entry to school.
- Developing a home-school partnership.
School Visits
Your child will begin pre-school visits approximately six weeks before they are due to start school. These visits are designed to make the transition to school a smoother process for your child. Our school visits programme provides opportunities for children to be involved in a variety of experiences so they know what being at school is like. Remember to make notes of any questions that need answered during these visits.
