Welcome Pack Booklet - Reception Starters 2024-25

This booklet is designed to support parents and carers working in partnership with our Early Years Team to ensure your child’s start in their Reception class is a positive and pleasurable experience that will give them the best of starts on their journey through school with us.

We cannot emphasise how important it is to share any

concerns you may have with one of our team, no

matter how small they may seem. We really believe

that with little children the little things are the big things

and we take all parental concerns seriously.

INFORMATION SHARING

If you have any messages for us, please speak to any member of the Early

Years team or the main admin office and they will ensure these are passed on.

Teachers are always happy to discuss your child’s learning and progress with

you, but to ensure we are able to give you the time you deserve, please

arrange to meet with teachers at the end of the day. You can also email or call.

Your teacher’s email address will be available on our school website under

class pages at the start of the new academic year. If you would like to call you

may do this on 01803 577940. Please be aware teachers will be unable to talk

during the day due to being in class, however if you feel it is urgent, please ask

to speak to a member of the leadership team and they will be able to help.

HOW YOU CAN SHARE INFORMATION WITH THE SCHOOL?

MESSAGES

HOW THE SCHOOL SHARES INFORMATION WITH YOU

If we have any messages to share with parents, one of the Early Years team will do

so as we send children out. If we need to chat to you about anything from the day

we may ask you to hang on until we have released the rest of the children, in order

to make sure everyone has gone home safely and also to give you our full attention.

Likewise, if you need to speak with the teachers, we ask that you are patient with us

and wait until the rest of the children have been handed over to parents.

If you have any messages to share with us, such as:

· A change of details (address, phone number etc)

· Someone else is due to pick up your child

· Your child is absent

· You may be late for collection

Please always inform the main front office via our school gateway app, calling us on

01803 577940 or in person.
