Dear FS-2 Families
While your child is only halfway through their year in FS-2, it is important that we look ahead to the transition they will make to Year 1 once they finish their time in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The transition between FS-2 and Year 1 is a significant one, as your child will complete the EYFS and begin the Key Stage 1 curriculum. Furthermore, they will move to our Main Campus, marking another significant transition.
As the year progresses, your child will experience many opportunities that are designed to facilitate smooth transitions. An important part of this process is working in partnership with our families, so you are as informed as possible about the changes your child will experience when they move into Year 1.
With this in mind, you are invited to attend a Year 1 Open Event, which will include three sessions:
- A presentation about the curriculum and learning experience in Year 1, including the similarities and differences between EYFS and Key Stage 1;
- A tour of our Main Campus, including visits to the specialist learning areas such as our Discovery Lab and swimming pool;
- An opportunity to visit our Year 1 learning environments.
To help us plan for the event, please complete the JotForm below to register your attendance.
Event Details:
Date: Tuesday, 13th January 2026
Time: 4.00pm – 5:30pm
Location: DBIS Main Campus
Please note that this is a parent/guardian-only event, and we cannot accommodate children throughout the evening. If this presents a problem for your family, please contact your child’s class teacher.
We look forward to sharing our Year 1 learning experience with you.
Best wishes
