Notice to Parents: Change to 'Meet the Teacher' Transition Day

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are writing to inform you of a change to our usual 'Meet the Teacher' transition day arrangements. This year, to coincide with the secondary schools' transition days, we will be holding our transition activities over three days:

• Tuesday, 1st July 2025

• Wednesday, 2nd July 2025

• Thursday, 3rd July 2025

During these three days, all children in EYFS and Years 1 to 5 will come to school as normal, but they will be spending the day with their new class and teacher for the 2025/2026 academic year. This will provide an opportunity for them to:

• Meet their new teacher.

• Become familiar with their new classroom environment.

• Begin to build relationships with their new classmates.

Please note that school will run as normal on these days, with the usual start and finish times. There will be no changes to current dinner arrangements.

We understand that this is a change to our usual practice, but we believe that aligning with the secondary school transition days will provide a more cohesive transition period for all pupils and help to prepare them for the start of the new school year in September.

How can parents support their child with this transition?

• Talk positively about the move to a new class and the opportunities it brings.

• Encourage your child to talk about their feelings and any worries they may have.

• Reassure your child that their teachers will be there to support them.

• Help your child to prepare for the day by ensuring they have everything they need.

   

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Forte - Co-Headteacher
