For new Reception children, we contact families in May and organise for parents and pre-school pupils to visit the school. Currently our admission number is 8 per year group.
The timetable for Reception admission:
Reception induction
As we are such a small school, we are very flexible in our induction for Reception children. We anticipate that they will begin by attending just morning sessions for the first two or three days. We understand though that parents know their child best and can help decide how quickly they will be able to cope with full days at school. We are happy to help by tailoring the induction period to each individual child.
