Starting school for the first time is a very important step for the both the child and the parent/carer. We feel it is important that you get to know us and the school. For this reason you are welcome and encouraged to visit our school before your child starts. Please contact school to make an appointment to meet a member of our team who will explain the school’s core values, aims and the way we operate on a day to day basis and give you a tour of the school during the school day.

In addition to the opportunity to look around the school, new reception parents are invited to a meeting during the summer term prior to children starting school.

Arrangements are made for your child to make pre-school visits in June/July to promote as smooth and trouble-free induction as possible. Reception parents are also invited to attend a parent information meeting during the summer term
