Resources to help your child in their return to school
Children returning to school
As we plan for children to return to school, we recognise that members of our school community returning after a long period of absence may be worried and have strong feelings and emotions about the transition. These worries are normal. Everyone has been affected by the pandemic in some way, and we recognise the importance of supporting all of our families back to school. As a mental health and well being team, we have summarised some information and helpful tips which can be found here.
Social stories
We have created social stories for you to share with your child/children before they return to school. We hope they help to answer any questions they may have and introduce the changes in a child-friendly, reassuring and visual way. Social stories are often best revisited and shared more than once in the lead up to something new. Please share the social story you feel is most appropriate to your child's age and stage.

Changes to the school layout
To help children familiarise themselves with the new look and feel of the school, we have produced this short video.
Can and can't
We can’t wait to see you all, but in order to make your transition back to school a bit easier we have put together some cans and can’t for each year group.
