We hold a welcome evening for our new Reception class in June, where you will be able to meet your child’s teacher, hear about our school and what they will be learning in Reception and ask any questions you may have at this point.

Our Reception class teacher will call your child’s nursery/pre-school setting to discuss how your child is at nursery and ask some questions about them, such as: favourite toys, friendships, likes/dislikes etc.

Our Reception class teacher will conduct a pre-arranged home visit over a two week period in July. We do these to see your child where they are most confident, as an opportunity to exchange information between parents/carers and teachers and as an opportunity for your child to show off their favourite toys and books.

You will be offered a stay and play session on one of two days. These usually take place in the last week of our academic year and they are a great opportunity for you and your child to familiarise yourselves with their new classroom before they start in September. It is also a great opportunity for them to start making friends with their new classmates

The children in September start in two groups to begin with, building up their time in school across the first week. From the second week of term all children are in school full time. More information on your child’s staggered start group and times will be sent to you in your information pack once you receive a place at our school.
