Induction Process
Our induction process begins at this point. Induction involves a meeting for parents and opportunities for the children to visit the school in June for a taste of school life.
We operate a staggered intake in September. For the first four days, children come to school for either the morning or afternoon session. This allows the children a smooth transition into school and staff the opportunity to get to know the children in smaller groups. On the fifth day, all the children come to school for the morning session and leave after having their lunch. From the sixth day, the children are in full time.
What We Offer...
- A nurturing environment where children are uniquely valued.
- A spacious, well-resourced Reception classroom and outdoor area.
- A five-day part-time induction period for children starting Reception to help them settle well into school.
- A dedicated outdoor space for Year One which is used to help the transition between Reception and Year One.
- Single-aged classes throughout the school.
- Spacious and well-resourced classrooms.
- Highly skilled and experienced teachers and teaching assistants.
- Large grounds with a wide variety of opportunities for play and learning.
