Welcome to Our New Reception Families!
We're delighted to welcome you to our school community and are excited to meet your little ones before they start their Reception journey with us.
Thank you to all the families who were able to attend our recent Stay and Play sessions, Come Dine with Me event, and information sessions. It was wonderful to meet so many of you and see your children beginning to feel at home in their new classroom environment.
Home Visits Coming Soon
Our Reception class teacher, Mrs Reynolds, and teaching assistant, Mrs Allen, will be arranging home visits to get to know you and your child better in the comfort of your own home. These informal visits are a wonderful opportunity for your child to meet their new teachers and for us to learn about their interests, needs, and any questions you might have.
Mrs Reynolds will also be visiting the nurseries that our new children currently attend, helping to ensure a smooth transition from their current setting to our Reception class.
What to Expect
Home visits will be arranged for every family over the coming weeks. During these visits:
-
Welcome gifts from our PTA – For families who were unable to attend our information sessions, you'll receive a lovely welcome present from our Parent Teacher Association
-
Summer holiday activity packs – Your child will receive a special activity pack to keep them engaged over the summer holidays
-
Important information – We'll provide you with valuable information and instructions to help prepare for the start of term
