Lymington Infant School is committed to supporting initiatives to encourage sustainable and active travel on the journey to and from school. We operate a Park & Stride scheme to try and reduce congestion around the school and to increase health benefits for children. We issue parents a parking permit to enable parking in the Barfields Car park or at the back Town Hall car park at drop off and pick up times.  For further information and for details regarding our Park and Stride scheme, please navigate to our 'Travel to School' page.

Toilet Training

Toilet training is an essential milestone for children before they start school. It combines all the skills a child is gaining day-by-day, including understanding their feelings, using language to express needs, following instructions, co-ordination and independence.

As well as ensuring a smooth start at school, toilet training can help parents/carers build confidence, get into routines and even save money on single-use nappies.

The Hampshire Public Health Team and Public Health Nursing Service have developed resources for parents/carers of children starting Reception in September.
