Classlist starting school guides

The Classlist starting school guides are for parents of kids who are about to start in Reception or Year 7.

They give you the lowdown on how to prepare, what to expect and parenting pitfalls to avoid when your children start at their new school. We hope they help.

The parent board on Classlist is also a great place to ask starting school questions that are specific to the school such as: is it really necessary to buy that second pair of trainers for P.E.?
