I am slightly obsessing about the fact that my DD won't start full-time school until January (she will be 5 in the April). Her rimary takes forty children in September and then twenty in January. She won't know anyone but is really excited about school. All of her friends at nursery are going to a different primary where there is only a single intake so she will be the only one left of her age group ... ramble, ramble.
Anyway - my question is, can anyone shed any light on how dual intake works? What sort of "academic" (for want of a better word) work do children do in the first term of reception? Will DD have to "catch up"? How to reception teachers manage this?
I would speak to the school but all they are saying at the moment is that there will be a parent's meeting in the autumn and I seem to have become VERY anxious about this...
