What advice would you give to a parent of a child starting school here in September 2020?
Sep 19 Starters
- The Early Years Team are fantastic, the children are in very good hands.
- Trust that they will be ok! It is a big step for both the parent and child but they are in good hands
- I'd defo recommend this school 100%!
- Definitely a firm choice for any student. Visits and ask questions
- Try not to worry about their child - he/she will get there
Sep 18 starters
- Why wouldn't you send your child to this school! Enjoy everything about the whole experience.
- Be prepared for tears (both parents and child) but not to worry as the teachers are great
- Arrange a school visit and ask any questions or queries don’t be afraid to ask, the school are more than helpful
- Utilise every opportunity given to plug into the school and speak to the staff – every child is different, think what is best for yours
- Trust the staff – they know what they’re doing as Mrs Beetles’ advice to ‘keep your face’ until you have dropped them off and then cry later really stuck with me (and worked…)
- Make the most of the new starters package to help them settle, and don’t worry – the staff are great and know what they are doing!
- Don’t worry your child is in great hands. They will be well looked after and soon be thriving in the class.
- ask for feedback on how child is settling in
- Not to worry. The school ensures that you and your child are very familiar with the school and the teachers before their first day. We were more apprehensive than our son on his first day. He went into school on his first day without tears or a backward game.
- Don't worry
- Sutton CP is a fantastic choice of school. All my children are very happy here
- take the advice given in meetings such as the welcome evening
- Not to worry as the staff are all welcoming & helpful that any concerns you do have are quickly dealt with and staff keep you informed of child’s progress. A lovely experience
- Attend all opportunities where possible
