What happens when I know my child has a place?

Nursery and Reception parents will be invited to an induction meeting one evening at the beginning of July.

Also during July there will be an open afternoon where nursery parents and pupils can visit our Early Years Unit and meet the staff.

 

On our move up morning in July Nursery and Reception pupils will spend the morning with their new teacher, in preparation for September.

 

In September, Reception and Nursery pupils have a phased entrance. During the first week Reception pupils stay until 1pm.

 

Nursery pupils do not attend school during the first week as members of staff will complete home visits, meeting all nursery parents and pupils at their home. During the second and third week Nursery pupils attend school every other morning.

 

Further details of these procedures will be shared with parents during the Induction meeting.
