Back to School Checklist: Primary

Whether your child is heading back to the classroom after the summer or starting primary school for the very first time, the transition can bring up a mix of excitement and nerves, for kids and parents alike.

Our free “Primary School Ready” checklist breaks down exactly what helps in the run-up to September, from practical basics like uniform and lunch boxes, to the emotional side: building independence, talking about feelings, and celebrating effort over perfection.

Written by a former teacher (and current Reception parent), it’s a simple, reassuring guide to help your child walk through those school gates feeling confident and ready to have a go.
