Starting school for the first time is a significant milestone in every child’s life; a moment filled with excitement, curiosity, and new experiences. At Bowlish Infant School, we understand how important it is to make this transition as smooth and positive as possible. We know that the early days of school lay the foundation for a child’s confidence, love of learning, and sense of belonging. That’s why we take great care to ensure every child feels welcomed, supported, and valued from the very beginning. Through thoughtful planning, gentle introductions, and close partnership with families, we create a nurturing environment where children can settle happily and thrive as they take their first steps into school life.

We welcome children from numerous pre-schools and value our relationships with each setting, because we know that working together is what is best for your child. 

Equally, we have an excellent relationship with our local junior school and work closely together to ensure the transition from Bowlish is one that is anticipated with confidence as the children already 'know' their next school.
