Starting primary school is one of the biggest milestones in a child’s life. It’s exciting, but it can also feel daunting for children and their families as they prepare for that very first step into reception. That’s why we’re delighted to share that orders are now open for our member PTAs to receive their free 2026 Be School Ready guides!

Our Be School Ready guide is designed to support families with everything they need to know as they get ready for school. Packed with practical tips, advice and reassurance, Be School Ready helps parents feel confident, informed and able to prepare their child for a smooth and happy transition.

Why order guides for your school? 

Supporting every family 

Not all parents know what to expect when their child starts school. The guides give clear, friendly advice on topics like preparing for the school day, encouraging independence and supporting learning at home. This helps level the playing field for all families, ensuring that every child has the best possible start. 

Strengthening the school community 

When families feel prepared, they feel more connected and engaged with their school. Providing the guides through your PTA shows parents that you’re there to support them, which helps build trust and positive relationships from day one. 

Practical, accessible and free 

Best of all, Be School Ready is completely free to order for PTAs. This means you can provide a valuable resource to every family without any cost to your community. 

A head start for children 

The early weeks of school are so important. Children who arrive feeling ready and confident can settle more quickly, build friendships and enjoy their learning. The guides help parents know what skills and habits to encourage at home, giving children a real head start.

Place your order for the 2026 guides on our website. They’ll be delivered directly to your PTA, ready to share with your new reception families.

By ordering your Be School Ready guides, you’re giving families the tools and reassurance they need to make that big step into school a positive and happy experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to support your new starters.
