Monday 29th June and Tuesday 30th June 

Your child will be invited to come and spend an hour at school during one morning and one afternoon. The children will not know their classes at this point but will be able to meet the adults, other children and explore the classrooms and shared areas. 

       Wednesday 8th July Parent welcome meeting and scrapbook session 9:30am – 10:30am in the lower hall, through the main school office.

All Foundation stage 2026 Parents and children are invited in to meet the teachers. Each child will be given a scrapbook and you can sit together and stick in photos of the school. This scrapbook can then be taken home over the summer and you can add photos of family, friends, holidays etc. Your child should bring this back in September as a transition book that they can keep in class and look through by themselves or with friends.
