We invite you to our Parent Induction Meeting on Wednesday 5th June at 7pm. This is for parents only and is an opportunity to find out more about our school, meet the team and find out key information about your child's transition to school in September.
As part of the Induction process your child will have the opportunity to visit school on three occasions in the Summer Term when they will meet their new teacher and familiarise themselves with their new classroom. These sessions will last approximately 30-45 minutes and will take place on the following dates:
Induction Visits in the Summer term – Please note the following dates;
Monday 17th June in the afternoon - This will be a 30 minute rhyme and story time for parents and children together.
Wednesday 3rd July in the morning - This will be a 45 minute session. You are invited to settle your child into the classroom and join us for an informal coffee in the music room while you wait.
Wednesday 9th July in the morning – This will be an hour session. We hope you will be able to leave your child to stay and play for this session.
Starting school is a milestone for both you and your child and is a time to be celebrated. We really look forward to meeting you and working together to provide your child with the best possible start to their school life.
We will continue to post useful information on this page throughout the Summer term.
