Getting Ready for School (New Entrants Information)

Please find all information about our open events for children starting school in September 2025 here.

We are delighted to welcome you to Valley Invicta Primary School at Kings Hill! We hope your child will enjoy every aspect of their learning experience with us.

This page aims to give you useful information to help them at the start of their school journey.

Starting school means your child will encounter a range of new activities and routines to get used to. Some of these will require them to do things more independently than they have before.

Studies show that the relationship between parents and children is the most important influence on a child’s development, and there’s plenty you can do at home to support this. While your child is with you or another caregiver, you can practise the skills shown in this booklet together.

Some skills may take time to develop, so it is helpful to introduce them gradually into their daily routine.

Our Getting Ready For School booklet is designed to help you and your child prepare for the start of their educational journey. It includes information about what your child should be able to do before they start school and words they should know and be able to use. You will receive a hard copy of this booklet with all your transition information, but you can also find it here.

Additionally, below, you can find a list of useful links to other information that will help your child get ready for school.
