A Parents’ Guide to Starting School: From before you apply to their first term

Jessica Palin is a mother of three, a primary trained teacher, a school Governor and a busy company director – allow her to ease you in to the overwhelming process of your child starting school with top tips, ideas and information as well as down to earth and reassuring commentary based on her own experiences as a mother and a teacher. She will help you to realise that being prepared for starting school is as much about preparing yourself, as it is preparing your child!

This book will highlight important things to think about in the year before your child starts school including deciding where and how to apply, what to look out for when visiting schools, getting ahead with phonics and top tips to make those first few days and weeks as easy as possible for you and your child. The book even includes a handy count down check list with all the major things you need to do and when!

Do you know what CVC words are or what the PTA is? What about what EYFS stands for? If not then do not fear - you are not alone and this book will guide you through all of this and plenty more, ensuring you know everything you really NEED to know well before it’s even time to buy school shoes (and the checklist tells you the best time to do that!)

Perfectly concise, yet brilliantly detailed, ideal for busy parents looking for a go-to guide.
