School Readiness
A coalition of education and childcare organisations has developed a new ‘school readiness’ definition to be used by early years settings, school staff, parents and carers. The ‘Starting Reception’ definition of school readiness is an agreed list of suggested skills and activities which parents should be practising with their children in preparation for starting school in Reception year. Please see the document below for the skills and abilities listed under the four categories:
- Growing independence
- Building relationships and communication
- Physical development
- Healthy routines
