Poplar Pre-school

Message to our families of children who will be starting Palace Wood School from September, from Palace Wood:

📣 Calling all new EYFS parents – September 2026 starters! 📣

You can now book to attend a friendly meet-up at Little Street in Maidstone, where your child can spend time with other new starters joining Palace Wood Primary School this September. It’s a great chance for children (and parents!) to begin forming friendships and feel more confident about starting school.

Please note that this is a relaxed social event — there will be no teaching staff present — just a welcoming space to meet others and get to know some familiar faces ahead of the new school year.

✨ Come along, say hello, and start your school journey together!

Throughout the Spring Term we have been using the National Literacy Trust’s self reflection guide to explore our reading culture. We want all children to develop a life-long love of reading and are continually evaluating our practice to ensure we meet children at their individual level of development, matched to their current interests. We are pleased to share that we have received our first ‘Go All In’ certificate and have been busy updating some of our story bags, which the children are loving!
