Outside Learning with the current Year R Your child is invited to visit school to use our outdoor environment for outside learning and finish with a snack and a story. Please provide your child with a small, healthy, clearly labelled snack for your child. You will be notified of your child’s class number prior to this visit. During this session parents/carers are invited to a workshop where members of the school staff will talk about how you can support your child’s transition into school and particularly with early reading development. |
Tuesday 1st July 2025 Classes 1 & 3 - 9.30-11am Classes 2 & 4 - 9.45-11.15am |
Class Visits Your child is invited into school to visit their class for a short session. (At the end of the session, from 11.15am, CLACA - The Court Lane Infant School Community Association - have arranged a teddy bears picnic at Drayton Park where you can meet other parents and children starting in September 2025) |
We believe that it is important and valuable for your child to meet their Class Teacher and their Early Years Assistant in their own home. These visits are 10 minutes in duration and will give you and your child an opportunity to talk about starting school and discuss daily routines.
Early Years Teachers and Assistants will be completing home visits on the following days:
Thursday 4th September 2025
Friday 5th September 2025
Monday 8th September 2025
Unfortunately we are unable to offer alternative dates for home visits.
Our aim for your child’s entry to school in September is to be enjoyable and exciting. Please see below times for the first week of term.
