You and your child are very welcome to join any or all of the stay and play sessions. We look forward to seeing you there!

Timetable for September 

After the summer holidays, our new Year R children will start school on Monday 4th September and will do a week of mornings in school before starting full time the following week (Monday 11th September).

We hope that this initial week will give the children the chance to get to know their new classroom, the adults in school and become familiar with certain class routines before starting full time.

On the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the first week of term, the children will finish school at 12:00, before lunchtime. On the Thursday and Friday, the children will spend the morning AND lunchtime in school, leaving school at 1:00.
