Step-By-Step Infant School Parent Handbook: putting a parent perspective on infant school information
It's confusing for parents when a child starts school, with forms to complete and information to read and understand. Typically, a folder or envelope with separate sheets of literature can add to the confusion… with sheets and small booklets easily mislaid.
It can unintentionally become an information gathering process…don't forget the person.
Creating a good impression from the beginning
Our Parent Handbook shows parents that you are professional and have thought of their needs. It takes them, 'step-by-step', through which forms to complete, puts a parent-friendly emphasis on normal 'school-to-parent' information, and keeps all policies in one place.
Perforated 'tear-off' forms
Each form has a perforated edge, so parents simply complete it, tear it off and give it to the school. There are also sections featuring Key Information, FAQs, Policies, Term Times etc.
The parent perspective
Within the Handbook will be parent quotes, placed strategically to highlight relevant topics, i.e. a parent quote about the school helping their child to take medicine (for a section on medicine), or what a parent did when they were late for school (highlighting what to do if late), or commenting on the home-school agreement and why they feel it's important etc.
Updates
We also offer free yearly updates, so your Parent Handbook is always relevant.
Online forms
We can also supply online forms, see more information here.

"We also have a Starting School Storybook from Andrew, and when parents start using our school, we will give them both the Starting School Storybook and Parent Handbook. It has become a suite of literature. These two publications not only meet real parent needs, but are meaningful and show parents and pupils alike that we have thought of them
