We want to create a citywide set of 10 top tips for starting school and need your help.

Come to a short virtual meeting on Friday 7 May between 9.00am - 10.00am to share your top ideas that will help parents prepare their children for a smooth school start in September.

We are asking pre-school and Year R practitioners to come together as a collective, to consider ideas for continued learning into the summer holidays that will give parents the best support and children the best start to school that they can have.

So on Friday 7th, grab a cup of coffee and bring your thoughts and ideas to our virtual meeting.

Please let us know if you are able to attend by emailing ella.harbut@portsmouthcc.gov.uk and we will send you the link to join the Teams meeting.

Solent NHS Trust and Portsmouth Local Authority are working together with Portsmouth Parent Voice to produce a new assessment profile. There will be free multi-agency training to learn about the new profiling tool so that you can complete this profile with parents.

This training will be delivered remotely using Zoom and will be split into three shorter sessions instead of one whole day: 13 May, 21 May, 27 May, 10.00am - 12.00pm.
