Starting School in September 2025

Welcome to Stubbins Primary School!

Today is a special day for many families – National Primary Offer Day!

We’re thrilled to welcome all the children who’ve been offered a Reception place at Stubbins Primary School for September 2025.

At Stubbins Primary School, we’re committed to offering nurturing, inclusive and high-quality education, rooted in our core values and close-knit community.

To every parent, carer, and child beginning their school journey with us – WELCOME to the Stubbins family!

If you’ve accepted your place, we’re excited to meet you and your child very soon. Our EYFS Lead will be in touch soon with next steps and ways to connect before September.

We can’t wait to meet our newest pupils and walk alongside you on this exciting journey.

Nurture, Grow, Flourish.

School Readiness

We understand that all children develop at their own pace, and that we’re all learning from birth.

When it’s time to start school, some children will need more help than others.

There are key skills that schools expect children to be learning before their first day. Practising these will make your child’s journey to Reception as positive as possible.

If your child is already at nursery, in pre-school, or with a childminder, those professionals will work with you and your child to help get them ready.

There’s lots you can do at home to build your child’s confidence and independence, helping them feel emotionally and practically prepared to start school.

Take a look at some of the Lancashire top tips for transition below!

Parent Feedback

We asked our current Reception parents for some feedback about our transition arrangements. They said:

"I couldn't have asked for a better start to James' school education. The teaching staff have created a warm and welcoming environment which has allow James to feel very comfortable and happy at school. James is thriving and loving learning. Thank you so much for this wonderful start."

"Perfect structure and very nurturing staff."

"I'm really pleased we picked Stubbins primary school for my son. Both myself and partner are very happy with how everything is going and my son is more than happy to go to school every day. Teachers are all lovely and love how they keep the class dojo app updated on all the events going on! Thank you."

"School have provided a happy and smooth transition. She has settled in well and we have felt supported with any issues."

"Lily has settled in so well and quite quickly considering she doesn't like new places - she was ready for the new big step."

"He settled into school so well. All teachers in reception have done such an amazing job."

Your child's journey to school starts at home!
