The first couple of weeks of the Autumn Term we operate a staggered part-time entry for the Foundation stage so that the youngest children are admitted gradually and have time to settle properly.  This gradually builds up to full-time education.  We tailor the length and style of the induction to each individual child.
For a place in our Foundation Class in any September you will need to have applied to the Local Authority (LA) by mid January of that year, as places are allocated in April by them; this is the National Closing Date.  Depending on the number of applicants from within the village there may be places for children from further afield.  Requests for places are decided upon using clearly defined criteria, and places are offered by the Admission Team based in Cambridge.

There will normally be a meeting for parents and staff in May/June, once places have been centrally allocated, followed by several school time visits for the children, and a final meeting in July. We find that this structured introduction to school gives children and parents alike a gentle start to their new school career.

It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that when children are commencing school they are dry as part of their school readiness. 

Health visitors are able to help prior to commencing school if anyone is struggling.  If you are concerned and feel it may be a physiological problem you should take your child to your GP.
