Transition sessions/ Getting to know your new school....
As soon as we receive information about you starting with us, we contact you and provide you with a 'Starting School' pack. This pack contains lots of useful information in relation to how you can support your child during the move from pre-school to 'BIG school'.
If you have any questions or queries about your child joining us at Abercanaid, please do not hesitate to contact:

What provision is in place for these vitally important transition sessions?
You will be invited into school for a 'Stay and Play' session. This session is after the school day - from 3.15pm-4.15pm. Within this session your child will have the opportunity to explore the setting both indoors and outdoors. The session will also provide parents with the opportunity to have a tour of the school, complete important paperwork and ask any questions that you may have.
Your child will then be provided with the opportunity to attend a number of sessions (1 hr per week), for approximately 6 weeks, the term before they start with us, this is approximate as this can be flexible and adapted where needed.
