Parent events
It is very important that you are part of your child’s learning. Each half term we ask parents to come into school to play with their children. We hold events such as ladies and gentlemen’s afternoons to celebrate Mothers and Father’s Day.
Transition meetings for Home to Nursery
Before your child starts in the Nursery, you will be invited to attend our stay and play sessions to prepare children for the transition to Nursery. We welcome families to visit the setting and meet the staff who will be involved in your child's early education.
Your child will have an opportunity to explore the setting and get to know some of their future friends.
Another part of our transition process between home and school is visiting your child's home environment.
A home visit gives your child a chance to establish positive relationships and meet a key person in their school life. It also gives our families a chance to reinforce our view of Parents as Partners involved in their child's education.
Transition meetings for Nursery to Reception
Before your child starts in Reception, we invite families to attend our transition meeting which take place after school hours. We also provide stay and play sessions for you and your child to see the setting, get to know the Early Years Team and establish the first links to an appropriate transition process. During this visit, you also have the chance to discuss any other issues or concerns regarding your child’s education.
