Rainbow New Starters
It was lovely to meet lots of you and your children on Tuesday for our Stay & Play session. If you weren’t able to attend, or would like to view the slide deck used please find this below. The next transition session for the children will be on Tuesday 7th July 7th July 10am-12am. The class allocations will be emailed out the week before this. This session will be just for the children to attend. You will come in through the school gate (the one to the right of the school) and drop your child off at their new class door. This is where you will pick your child up later on.
