New Starters Reception Information

We would love to welcome your child into our reception class in September 2026. As a small village primary school, we take great pride in all that we do.

Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision and it is important that you feel you have all the necessary information to make an informed choice. We would strongly encourage you to visit our school so that you can see our wonderful children learning, understand our ethos and feel the harmony within. We are incredibly proud of everything that we are building and we would love to share this with you.

We will be holding a number of tours of the school. These will allow you to see the school in action and to ask any questions you may have.  The tours will be informal and you are welcome to bring children with you.

The tours are to be held on:

Friday 10th October at 9am

Thursday 16th October at 2pm

Monday 3rd November at 5pm

Please get in touch with the school office to book your place or if you have any questions.
