Appendix B
Children will be admitted into school in September, in the school year in which they are five.
Our aim is to make every child’s start at Stoke Primary School as happy and relaxed as possible.
Children will be sent a personal letter offering them a place at Stoke Primary during the Spring Term prior to the September they will start school.
This will be accompanied by an invitation to attend a meeting with other prospective parents. At this meeting the organisation of the school will be discussed, also starting dates for each child. This meeting will take place June/July.
Children and Parents will be invited to spend time in their reception class, during the second half of the summer term. This will give them opportunities to become familiar with our building, grounds and the adults they will meet around school. They will be invited to story times and an induction morning in July.
Admission to school will be staggered over a two-week period at the beginning of September. We will admit the children in groups of 6 for a whole day, beginning with the summer born children. This will allow the youngest children plenty of time to get used to the school routines before the majority of the children start school and the class becomes full.
Parents will have an opportunity to discuss their child’s first weeks in school with the class-teacher, early in the Autumn Term.
Children transferring from other schools will be carefully integrated into the appropriate year group.
They will be introduced to a group of children who have volunteered to befriend them and help them to adjust to their new surroundings and school procedures.
After half term parents will be offered the chance of an interview with the class teacher.
