Supporting learning

PRE –SCHOOL
Help your child be ready for school by encouraging them to

• talk with and listen to other children and adults
• play and socialise with others
• understand and follow simple instructions
• dress and feed themselves and attend to their own toilet needs
• Cope with being separated from their parents/carers

A booklet entitled ‘Getting Ready’ is available free from the School Secretary.

A pre-school information pack is presented to parents in July.

AT SCHOOL
Help your child make the best possible progress by:

• Taking an interest in your child’s learning
• Support our homework policy and encourage our child to use our ‘learning platform’ to extent and consolidate their learning
• Share and enjoy books and other reading opportunities together and talk about the text
• Encourage independence and self reliance in organising themselves

It is essential that you:

• Keep us well informed of any difficulties your child may be experiencing
• Give clear instructions about arrangements for your child going home
• Explain absences either through a letter to the class teacher, e-mail or a telephone call to the School Secretary.
• Inform us of any changes of address or of telephone numbers where you may be reached.
