Monday 7th July 2025 — Transition Day

On Monday 7th July, all children will have the opportunity to meet their new teacher in their new classroom. Children and their parents will find out who their new teacher is on Thursday 3rd July, when reports are sent out.
On Friday 4th July, staff will show the children where to line up in preparation for Monday. For most children, this will ensure a smooth transition, and staff will be working with them so that they are familiar with their new classroom, teacher, and peers.

New Nursery and children continuing in Nursery from September

They will be dismissed from the KS1 playground — please stand near the perimeter fence.

• New Year 3: All current Year 2 children should enter the KS2 playground via the end KS2 gate (the gate nearest the park) in the morning and will be dismissed from the KS2 playground at the end of the day. Please send your child with a piece of fruit. Children will be shown which door to use to enter their new classroom on Friday 4th July.
• New Year 4: All arrangements as usual — just different classes and teachers.
