Reception Pupils Starting School in September 2025

We feel it is important to familiarise your child with the idea of moving on and meeting new children and adults. This should be communicated to your child as an exciting experience with many new and interesting activities. Many of the activities at school will be similar to home, nursery and playgroup, but there will be new and different ones too!
