Starting School

---

Our School has a real family feel.  We want to make sure that our new pupils feel safe and happy.  During the term before they join us, we invite new children to spend several half-day sessions with us to learn classroom routines, the layout of the School and to make new friends.

For the first three weeks your child is with us, they will also do a mixture of morning or afternoon sessions.  This phased approach will help the children settle in and get used to the school day.

Before starting School

The information below tells you what will happen in the terms before your child starts school. ​

Spring Term

Our Nursery Nurse will be in contact with you to obtain pre-school information. Early contact can be made with  preschools or nurseries to ensure a smooth transition.

Home visits

Pre-school/Nursery visits

We can discuss the things your child is looking forward to, any worries or concerns. We also discuss the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, Learning Journey folders, and have a look at our induction booklet.

We visit each child in their own, familiar setting; children therefore get used to seeing us. We are also given the opportunity to discuss each child with their key worker and any relevant information is passed on.

Activity afternoons

We invite our new pupils to several activity afternoons at the school before starting in September. This gives them an insight into the school day.
