Starting school is an exciting time for young children and their parents. It can be a daunting time, too. However, with a little preparation and encouragement, most children will settle in easily at school, ready to learn and discover.

We have included links below to resources that may help you and your child when they start school.

Preparing your child for starting school

Most children who attend Spixworth Infant School transfer to Woodland View Junior School. The schools work together to ensure the smoothest transition possible for your child.

Moving from Infant to junior school can create anxieties for some children and we understand that this can be a difficult adjustment.

We want all our children to feel happy, safe and secure. The quicker they settle in to their new school, the more confident they become helping them to develop independence, and enjoy their learning.

We have included links below to resources that may help you and your child with the transition process.
