We know that the transition to school for both children and parents can be an exciting and emotional one.  We offer a full induction programme to all our new children and parents which includes a parents information evening in May followed by two visits to school for your child in June, a home visit by your childs Teacher in September and an induction timetable in September which gradually builds your child to attending school full time over the course of two weeks.
