What does my child need for starting P1?

For starting P1, your child will receive their own homework package from the school. Please ensure this is kept safe.

A school bag is not necessary as storage is limited and your child’s homework package should be sufficient for their needs. If you do want to get a school bag, a small one would be best as they will have very little to carry in it.

All children should bring a water bottle and snack to school every day; these can be brought in their homework package or lunch bag.  If they are having a packed lunch, they will need a lunch bag of some sort with their name on it.

For gym, it would be great if they brought their gym shoes and shorts in a small drawstring bag that can be kept on their peg. You will be told when your child’s gym days are and it would be helpful if they wore a polo shirt on these days.

They can bring a pencil case if they wish but this is not required as all resources are provided. Our teaching and learning is done through play and the children have free access to all the resources they need throughout the day. It is one less thing for them to carry.
