We will be hosting a parents information evening on Wednesday 17th June 2026 at 5.00pm in the school hall. At the meeting parents will be able to come along and meet the staff that will be working with your children next year, find out what is needed to get ready for school and more important information. 

 We are inviting parents to come and collect their welcome packs from the school office on either Tuesday 19th May between 10am and 2pm or Friday 22nd May between 10am and 2pm. The welcome pack includes lots of information to help you to prepare for your child starting school and the necessary registration forms.  This will also include a starting school booklet for you to work through with your child and a helpful overview of photos of what the rooms look like to familiarise your child with. If you are unable to collect on the above dates, you will be able to do so at the parents information evening or at one of the transition meetings held on

Starting Reception is a helpful online resource for families preparing their child to begin school. It offers clear, practical advice on building independence, establishing routines, supporting early communication, and helping children feel emotionally and socially ready for their first days in Reception.

The website also includes free guides on potty training and toothbrushing, which many families find useful in the lead‑up to starting school.

We encourage parents to explore www.startingreception.co.uk to support a confident and positive transition into Reception.
