New Starters Reception Information

We hope that Offord Primary School is your first choice, and would love to welcome your child in to our reception class in September 2023.

 

Choosing a school for your child is an important decision and it is important that you feel you have all the information to do that. We would strongly encourage you visit schools so you can see for yourself what goes on, feel the school, meet the staff and ask any questions you have.

We would love to meet you and show you round our small, friendly village school.

 

If you have applied for a place at Offord Primary School for September 2023, Cambridgeshire County Council will confirm your place in April. We will be in touch soon after to share transition arrangements for the summer term and September.

 

In the meantime, please have a look at the resources below that were made for the parents, carers and children a couple of years ago, it will give you a flavour of life in our reception class
