If your child is four years old before 31st August 2009, then you will have been notified of your primary school place by Islington. If you have not, or you have any questions or problems with school admissions, please let Julian or Michele know.
Transition to primary school is a really important step for all children. This is how we work with schools to support the children:
- The school will arrange a time for your child to visit, see the classroom, playground, dining hall etc and usually meet the classteacher. Please let us know if your child is visiting her or his school: then your key person can talk to your child in nursery about it.
- We encourage the reception teacher and/or teaching assistant to come and visit the children here at Kate Greenaway, too.
- If your child has special educational needs, we will arrange a transition meeting between our staff and the school staff.
- We will complete an end of nursery report, which you contribute to, and which is then sent to the primary school.
- We will give your child’s Profile Book to you, and we encourage you to share this with the reception teacher.
Asthma in childhood
We are running an Information Morning here at Kate Greenaway on Thursday May 14th from 10am-12pm with a specialist asthma nurse. You can find out about the best ways to administer medication, advice on exercise for asthmatic children, and how to spot the signs that your child’s asthma is getting worse and needs medical attention.
Anyone who has worried about their child’s breathing or had to take their child to A&E knows how distressing this can be, so if this affects you please come along on Thursday.
