New Starters at St James

We are delighted to welcome you and your child to our school community. Starting school is an exciting milestone, and we are committed to ensuring that this transition is as smooth, positive and reassuring as possible for both children and families.

To support you in preparing for this important step, we have put together two key resources:

Our New Starters Story Book
This story has been created to help your child become familiar with school life before they begin. It introduces key routines and the learning environment in a child-friendly and engaging way, helping to build confidence and reduce any worries they may have.

We encourage you to read and share these materials together at home, taking time to talk about what starting school might look and feel like. This can make a significant difference in helping children feel secure and ready for their new adventure.

New Starters Information Pack
Our information pack provides parents and carers with essential details about starting school, including daily routines, expectations, key contacts and practical guidance. It is designed to answer common questions and ensure you feel well-prepared for your child’s first day and beyond.

If you have any questions or would like further support, please do not hesitate to contact the school office - we are here to help.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
