Infant school is where foundations are laid. Make no mistake, there'll be worries, and anxious times, perhaps some disappointments. But it's also going to be exciting for your child.
Now that your child is between the ages of 5-7, they will be entering Key Stage 1 which lasts two years and there are tests when the children reach Year 2 (children are generally 6 or 7 in Year 2).
As a parent or carer, you have a very important role to play in helping your child learn. Some parents are afraid of doing the wrong thing. The most important things you can do are:
- Take an interest in what your child is learning at school
- Praise them when they have done well.
