September Arrangements
Our new Reception children have a staggered entry into school, starting with morning or
afternoon sessions at first and then gradually moving towards full time days with lunch
included. Through parent questionnaires, we receive very good feedback re our arrangements and find this
ensures for a very smooth transition for all our children. See below for the staggered entry details.
Week commencing 2nd September-6th September 2013 will be home visits for each of our 60 children
where you will have the opportunity to meet your child’s class teacher. Times given out week beginning
Monday 8th July.
Week commencing 9th September-13th September 2013: Your child will be offered either morning or
afternoon sessions for each day of this week. A-L surnames will be morning sessions and M-Z surnames will
be afternoon sessions. If you find real difficulty with this and need to swap your session, then please see
either Mrs Hardy or a Reception teacher and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Morning sessions will be 9.00-11.00am (A-L surnames)
Afternoon sessions will be 1.00-3.00pm (M-Z surnames)
