At St Luke's C.E. Primary School we believe that Early Years education is vitally important as it provides the foundation for future learning.  We are committed to providing a stimulating and supportive learning environment to meet the needs of young children.

Starting school is a big step in your child’s life and we aim to make it a happy and positive experience for everyone. The booklet below, along with the information on this part of the website, will help both you and your child prepare for this important and exciting milestone.

It is important to remember that children learn at different rates and learning is not a race or a competition.  Our staff will always praise effort and will help children recognise that we learn from our mistakes.

‘Mistakes are learning opportunities’

Your child will need to be given lots of encouragement and praise for his or her efforts to help build up his or her self-esteem and confidence. Talk positively about school to build up their excitement about starting.
