Shibden Head Primary Academy

Is your child due to start school in September 2027? We would love to show you round our fantastic community school in Queensbury. We have our Shine Club wrap around care available from 7:00am until 5:55pm run by our own staff.
Please contact our school office via email - [email protected] to book your place on one of the sessions below. We look forward to meeting you!

FREE uniform available in the village. 🥰

Looks like everyone is having a great time at Kanga Sports holiday club!

A handy guide to the small steps that parents and carers can practice with their children before starting school.

Just over 3 weeks to go before our new cohort of Reception children start school with us. We can't wait! 💚💙

Celebrating ! Have fun while you learn!

There are lots of 'small steps to starting school' that can be practised through play.

A helpful new activity sheet is now available to support families. Download the Small Steps to Starting School activity sheet from the FYI website, and start ticking things off now!

You can use the activity sheet with all pre-school children - even as early as age 2. (While most 2 year olds won't be able to do everything yet, the sheet can help with ideas for the 'small steps' to practise through play.) As your child reaches 3 and 4, watch their confidence and skills grow!

The 2-page sheet also includes links to play ideas and a list of groups and support.

You can pick up a print-out of the activity sheet at the family hub summer events this August.

Please note, if your child has additional needs, they may achieve skills at different times. Early support makes a big difference – ask your child’s nursery, school, health visitor, or your local family hub for help.

An accessible version of this activity sheet that can be read by a screen reader is available on the FYI website.
