Preparing for School Launch
As part of the Government’s Early Years strategy, the Best Start in Life campaign brings together trusted advice and support to help families like yours to recognise how everyday moments support children’s development and build the skills they need for starting at school.

Today, we’ve launched Preparing for School – part of the wider Best Start in Life campaign – to support parents in preparing their child for starting school this September. The campaign highlights that being prepared is about developing everyday skills, not just having the right uniform. At the heart of the campaign is the Steps for School song – a new music video featuring a rap by award-winning teacher-turned-rapper MC Grammar. The video highlights simple, practical steps parents can practice with their child to support their development and build confidence and independence.
We’re also encouraging parents to explore the new Preparing for school webpage
