New Starters - What to Expect
Every child's start to school life is a vitally important period. At Southbroom, we do everything we can to make it a smooth, happy, and positive experience. Our early years team place a strong focus on assisting children with the transition from home to school life.
We run a number of 'Stay and Play' sessions during the summer term so that the children can meet the staff and their new classmates. Children are given a 'Summer Journal' to complete over their holidays and are asked to bring it with them on their first day of school. This acts as a brilliant talking point for the children and provides them with some familiarity when they start school.
All children start on a phased start whilst they settle in and learn our school routines and expectations. This is usually for the first week in September. Most children will then start school full-time. If you or the staff feel that your child would benefit from an extended phased start, this will be discussed with the school and yourselves on a 1:1 basis to create a plan that best suits your child.
