Monday 8th July 2024 - Transition Day
On Monday 8th July, all children will have the opportunity to meet their new teacher in their new classroom. Children and their parents will know who their new teacher is on Wednesday 3rd July when reports are sent out.
On Friday 5th July, staff will show the children where to line up in preparation for Monday. For most children this will be the a ‘smooth transition’ and staff will be working with the children, so that the children are familiar with their new classroom, teacher and peers.
