BUNDLE! Primary School Applications and Transition

This course will give you the information, tools and resources you need to empower you to navigate primary school applications and transition with confidence. Through the two courses, you will... UNDERSTAND: The different types of school in the system and the pros and cons of each. How the application process works and what research says about what is important to consider. You will understand what happens in the first few years of primary school and common 'pitfalls' parents face during the transition. INVESTIGATE: How to find data about schools and how to use this information to inform your choice. We will look at Ofsted reports, exam data and 'hidden' data most parents don't find - including how much a school spends on supply teachers! We will investigate the curriculum of primary schools and any assessments that will happen in the first few years of primary school - the aim of this part of the course is to reduce surprises! EXPLORE: An overview of the debates in education and how to use these during school visits to get a good understanding of the 'day-to-day life' of the school. We focus on how to build really great relationships with teachers and schools and how to create a supportive home environment so that your child thrives in their new school. In addition, you will get... - School Application Workbook - my 65 page step-by-step guide through this process.
