The start of primary education can be an anxious time for parents and children. However, if everyone works together, your child can get the best support possible to enjoy school. The most important things in the primary stage are for your child to be able to access the curriculum, and become more independent in learning and socialising.
This section is about how you can work with your child, with teachers and with other specialist staff, to make sure this happens.
Support for your child's teacher
Our school based learning section has information information aimed at education professionals and has guides on teaching children with sight problems. If your child's teacher has never taught anyone who is blind or partially sighted, don't be afraid to point them in the direction of information that can help.
