Tuesday 16th June @ 2pm - Parent Information Meeting

Each year we hold an introductory meeting for parents only. In this meeting we will give you important information about your child starting school and what you might expect in the first few weeks. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions and meet the team.

Wednesday 1st July from 1.30pm to 3pm - Children Classroom Visit

The children are invited into school, by themselves. They will spend the time in their classrooms with their teachers to enable them to feel more confident about starting school on their first day. They will also get the opportunity to meet their Year 6 buddy! These are children who are in Year 5 at the moment but next year will maintain a special relationship with your children, regularly working with them, reading with them and supporting their smooth transition into Hook Lane. Staff will meet you at the main school gate (Faraday Road) and escort you to the reception playground gates, where you can leave the children with their teacher. 

Additionally, we will be carrying out home visits so that we can find out as much as possible about your child to enable them to settle in without difficulty when they start school, and for us to gather any information we will need to know about dietary requirements, religious practices, etc. We find that children love to meet their teacher in their own familiar surroundings, and it will allow you some one-to-one time with the class teacher to answer any questions you may still have specifically relating to your child. We will be in touch about the specifics in due course.

Do talk to us about any fears or worries you have, however small or trivial they may seem. We want the same as you do for your child: for them to have a happy and successful start to their school life.
