  • A Smooth Transition

    Transition from Nursery to Reception

    At Lordship Lane Primary School, we understand how important it is to ensure a smooth and seamless transition from Nursery to Reception. This step marks a significant milestone for your child as they move into full-time school and begin their journey in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

    Our carefully planned transition process is designed to support your child in feeling confident, secure, and excited about starting Reception. We focus on building strong relationships between families, children, and staff to ensure every child feels valued and ready to embrace their new learning environment.
