New starters for September 2027


Open events for Prospective Reception Families 2027
We also arrange events specifically for families considering a Reception place at our school. Prospective families have an opportunity to meet key members of staff to learn more about our school, in particular life in Reception, and families are given a guided tour around the whole school.

These events allow you to see the busy learning, play and fun that takes place everyday so that you can make an informed choice  about your child's future education. 

You can book a place at one of our popular open days by using this link.
