The School Induction Process

Summer Term

• Once places have been offered and accepted we will plan a meeting for parents to meet the teachers and to find out about our school.
• We have open afternoons for visits to the class.  From 1.30 to 2.30 throughout the last term we have an open hour for you to visit with your child.  All we ask is that you ring in the morning or book in advance as it is limited to 4 places.  This allows you to come and familiarise yourself and your child with the classroom and the school.  You can come as many times as you like, you know your child best and so will know how many visits they will need.
• We also have an afternoon when we invite all the children and parents.  During this afternoon we take the parents to the hall for a tea/coffee and an opportunity to meet the headteacher while the children stay with their teacher and their classmates.

September

• We offer home visits for approximately 20 minutes to any families who are new to the school.  The class teacher and/or a teaching assistant will visit you and your child at home.  This gives you and your child an opportunity to ask any questions before they actually start.
• The first day for the children will be for just a morning.
• The second day children will stay for the morning and also stay to lunch.
• The third day children are in full time.

If you feel your child may need a longer settling in period then please speak to the headteacher in the summer term.
