EYFS Admissions
Please find information that will be useful to you to help your child when they start school in September 2025.
Information for Parents
Our leaflet, 'Welcome to Early Years at Icknield Primary School,' has lots of useful information about our Early Years provision, including key members of staff, how we share information about your child's learning and things to do to help ready your child for school.
All parents will be sent a link to set up a log-in for an app linked to our school information system - Arbor. This will allow you to share additional information about your child/children and we will be able to officially register your child/children’s formal details.
When you receive this link please click on it and you will be asked to set up an account (if you are already a parent or carer of a child at the school you will be able to link your new child to your existing account). Please complete this information urgently if you have not already done so.
Am I Ready For School? Flying Start Leaflet
These leaflets are full of ideas and activities that you may want to do at home with your child to help them get ready for school.
Useful Site to Visit
Flying Start Luton is an excellent website full of resources that support local parents, including ideas on how to prepare your child for a successful transition into school.
Resources to Help Your Child Start School
This is a great game to play with your child. Help your child create his or her character and pick a school jumper, then explore the school and find all the different activities to play.
Once the register has been taken, have a go at painting, block-building or making a calm jar. Keep an eye out for fun things to explore in the classroom - is that a butterfly?
