Why join this starting school drop-in
Starting school often brings lots of questions - and sometimes uncertainty about what's right for your children. Talking things through with someone who understands both the school system and family life can make a real difference.
This session gives you the chance to hear expert insight alongside real-life experience, helping you feel more confident in your decisions and more prepared for the transition ahead.
The drop-ins are always very informative and it's good to have information on issues that may not occur with singletons.
