For this session, to aid transition, we ask that all parents/carers leave the school site after they drop their child and then return to collect them from the Reception gate at the end of the session. Having all the children in will enable them all to meet one another, and for us to make informed decisions about class arrangements for the transition morning the following week. Please note that classes, teachers and house groups will be confirmed via email following this session but prior to the final transition morning. It is important to take note of your child’s house as they will be split into houses for their first session on Friday, 5th September.
