Starting School Stars Display Posters

Get your classroom, corridor, or parent information board ready with our beautiful “Starting School Stars Display Posters”, a visual celebration of the key skills children are encouraged to build before they begin their Reception journey.

These posters break down school readiness into clear, friendly themes:

• ⭐ Social development
• ⭐ Emotional development
• ⭐ Physical development
• ⭐ Communication
• ⭐ Practical independence
• ⭐ Academic extras

Each star gently communicates what children might begin practising as they prepare for ‘big school’—from putting on their coat, to recognising their name, to managing those big feelings that sometimes come with change.
