New to Reception

New Reception Starters – Sept 2020

Welcome to Infant 1 and Infant 2

Your child is due to start our Reception Class on Wednesday 2^nd September 2020. As you will be aware, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, schools are currently only open to those children of critical key workers for childcare provision. As a result, we have unfortunately been unable to carry out our normal transition procedures. In normal circumstances you will have been invited into school for a meeting and been able to meet key staff and look around the settings.

The information below is designed to support the smooth transition of your child into our Reception classes. The information includes details about your child’s class, routines, organisation and the attached videos will allow you and your child to become familiar with the setting. The videos will also introduce the key staff including teachers and teaching assistants.
