The Independent details a new initiative by Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, introducing the 'Starting Reception' website designed to assist parents in preparing their children for primary school. This launch comes as many children born during the COVID lockdowns face developmental challenges, such as struggling with basic skills like climbing stairs or recognizing their names. The website, created in collaboration with the charitable foundation Kindred Squared, offers practical advice for parents to help their children acquire essential survival skills necessary for a successful transition to school.
Education secretary Bridget Phillipson emphasizes the importance of preparing children for school, stating that a child's best start in life begins before they reach school age.
The new Starting Reception website aims to provide parents with resources to help their children develop essential skills needed for primary school, countering the impact of pandemic-related challenges.
