New Starters Information

Virtual Open Day

 

Reception Information

On this page you will be able to find a range of information and resources to support you and your child as you prepare to start school.

All of the resources can be found on the menu at the bottom left of the screen.

Videos

All of the school staff are looking forward to getting to know you as you start school. Mrs Desborough, our headteacher, has made a video welcoming you to the school.  There are also videos from Miss Harder and Mrs Elkin, our two reception teachers. There is also an information session and storytime for your new starter to enjoy.

 

 

Resources

• Welcome to Robin and Wren classes- a booklet showing photos of the two reception classes and other key areas around school.
• Reception 2021-22 booklet- a Parent information leaflet about our reception classes and your child’s first year
• Your Journey to School- a tracker put together by the EYFS Leads across the schools in the Cam Trust, detailing skills we hope children would be developing on their entry to school. This may provide you with ideas of things you can do over the next few weeks to support your child in preparation for starting school.
