If you are new to our Reception Year Group - please take a look at the information below.

We have created a presentation which should help your child become a little more familiar with our school, prior to their Settling In Session in September.

Please click on this link to access this presentation.

Settling In Sessions

We will be holding our stay and play sessions in September directly before the children start school. The children will then attend school on a part time basis to allow them to settle into the schools routines and allow positive relationships to be developed between the children and adults. During the second week of attending school part time we will add staying for lunch to the children’s routine.

Lunches

We encourage all children to take up the offer of a free school meal.

This is available to all children in our school! The children have a good choice of nutritionally balanced meals each day, including the option of a school packed lunch.

If you would prefer to send a packed lunch from home, this should include; a savoury item such as a sandwich, fruit, yogurt and one treat (in the form of crisps or cake or snack bar, etc - no sweets) and a drink (no fizzy drinks).

PLEASE NOTE: It is essential that food items containing nuts or traces of nuts must NOT be brought into school, due to severe allergies. 

Uniform

As the children spend a lot of time outside in Reception, we are happy for the children to wear dark leggings/trousers/jogging bottoms, along with their school polo shirt and cardigan/jumper.

Robust school shoes/black trainers are advised, and should be Velcro to encourage independence.
