Starting Nursery & Reception in September 2025
Starting in Nursery & Reception in September 2025
We are delighted that your child will be joining our school in September 2025. Below, you will find a number of pieces of information which will help prepare you, and your child, for their transition into Reception.
Our new parent meeting is on Thursday 19th June 2025 at 6pm. We ask all parents/carers to try to attend this, as key information about the school will be shared.
New Starter Paperwork
For children who are new to our school, the following paperwork will need to be completed:
- Pupil information booklet (which will be sent completed online);
- Pupil premium grant application (if your family meet the circumstances listed);
- School development fund appeal;
- All about me form (to be brought along to their 'Meet the Teacher' meeting).
We also require parents to provide a copy of their child’s Birth Certificate or Passport and a Utility Bill to confirm their address. This can be uploaded onto our admissions portal.
If you have any questions, or need support in completing it, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Individual Meetings
If your child is new to the school, we would love to arrange for you and your child to come into school to have an individual meeting with our Nursery/Reception Team in September. We will send you information regarding your meeting nearer the time.
If you believe your child may need additional support in school, due to them having additional educational needs, we would also encourage you to contact the school office and arrange a meeting with Mrs Marsden, our Inclusion Manager, so we can ensure that we put the correct provision in place for your child when they start with us.
St Edward’s is truly a special place and we are delighted that your child is beginning their primary education with us. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you prepare for this exciting new stage of their journey and we are delighted to have been entrusted with the privilege and responsibility of working with you to invest in your child.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We look forward to meeting with you soon,
Kind regards,
Chris Speller (Head Teacher)
