A pre-term readiness checklist for school headteachers, facility managers, and admin teams ensuring the school is fully prepared before students return from holiday. Covers building condition and maintenance, classroom setup and supplies, safety system testing, IT infrastructure, catering kitchen readiness, grounds and play areas, and the administrative preparations that ensure a smooth first day.

The period between summer break ending and students arriving is the most compressed preparation window of the school year. Every classroom needs checking, every fire alarm needs testing, every computer needs updating, and every supply cupboard needs restocking — all in a few intense days. This checklist ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
