All Parents are informed by email that their child has a place in Reception, they are then invited to an Induction meeting in the Summer Term before their child starts school. At the Induction meeting all parents are given a school handbook and all necessary literature to read at their leisure. They are shown examples of the uniform and talked through all the information. All school staff, Principal, Reception Teacher, and Learning Assistants are introduced to the parents.
The child will take part in activities with the Learning Assistant in order to gain a baseline assessment on entry.
Reception children will start their lunchtime earlier than KS1 in order to give them enough time to eat their lunch.
