Pupils normally transfer to Primary School between the ages o
f 4½ and 5½.
The move to “big school” is an important time for children and their parents.
We understand that moving onto Primary School can be a scary and worrying time for some children and parents!
At Deanpark Nursery School we have been looking at ways to improve the quality of the transition experience of children. We work closely with our primary partners, sharing information and also through an established induction programme.
Staff from local Primary Schools visit the Nursery School throughout the year. We share and participate in many joint ventures with staff and pupils from local Primary. We are part of Shawlands Learning Community and have a Transition Calendar – a calendar of pre-planned events which we hope to achieve and we hope will help make the transition to Primary School a happy, relaxed and smooth transition for all our children and parents.
