Little Acorns

We know that starting school can be a daunting time for children and concerning for their parents.  We therefore invite all our new children to come up to the School with their parent(s), and or guardians to meet our staff and children and become more familiar with the school before they start. 

Our Little Acorns afternoons provide such opportunities in the Summer Term. We visit all our new reception children's nurseries and visit you and your child at home prior to them starting with us.
