Reception- New Intake
Congratulations new intake families, your school places have been allocated and we are truly looking forward to welcoming all our new children into our Reception class in September. The children's new teachers are very excited to meet all of the children and for your child’s school journey to begin.
NEW INTAKE NIGHT- Wednesday 22nd May 2024 - 6 - 7:30pm We are looking forward to meeting all of our new intake families on this night.
You will soon recieve a starter pack full of all the information you will need to get you started at ELE. This will include where to purchase uniform, information about lunches, and an overview of school routines. The PowerPoint that staff deliver on the new intake parents meeting will also available to view on this page after the meeting.
Over the coming weeks, staff will be visiting your child in their nursery setting, this will give staff a chance to introduce themselves and Ted the class bear. The teachers are looking forward to playing alongside your child. Staff at nursery settings can also hand over key information to their new teachers to make the transition process a smooth one.
On Wednesday 3rd July and Wednesday 10th July, families are invited to a morning stay and play sessions at school. On the first date you will attend school alongside your child and share lunch together. As parents/carers you will have the opportunity to find out more about school. The children will have the chance to explore the classroom alongside their new teachers. On the second visit, your child will stay with staff and parents/carers can put their feet up at home! Both sessions will run from 9.00-11.00am.
A September start to a new school is always full of excitement and apprehension and often it is an anxious time for families, please look at the files attached to support this process. Staff have attached some top tips to deal with change and a road map to starting school.
You may also like to share books about starting school with your child. Here are some recommended books to enjoy at home. Your child will also receive free books about starting at ELE during Stay and Play sessions.
Staff have also attached visuals to support morning routines. Your child may find getting dressed each morning tricky, why not print off the attached visuals and order them. Encourage your child to follow these cards each morning, they will be so proud of their independence skills and will certainly be ready for school in September!
The children of ELE’s current Reception class wanted to tell you all about school life. They really do love school.
