Help your child to be school ready by supporting with these things:
Rest assured that we will seek to support you every step of the way as your child takes their first steps towards starting at our school. We can't wait to meet you!
We hope you can join us for our transition 'Stay and Play' sessions in July. All children due to start in our EYFS and their parents are invited to join on Friday 3rd July 2026 at the below times:
Active Ants: 9.15am – 10.15am
Busy Bees: 10.30-11.30am
We would also like to invite children and parents to a second 'Stay and Play' session the week before starting school on Wednesday 26th August 2026:
Active Ants: 9.00am – 10.00am
Busy Bees: 10.30-11.30am
During the day on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th August, teachers will offer meetings with parents either in school or phone calls. These meetings are to support with any questions about school that parents may have, and to get to know the children and their families. Please book a time with your child’s class teacher/s at the Stay and Play session.
