WHINF – Autumn in Reception!
This week we have been learning all about seasons and we have been focusing on the changes that happen during Autumn.
For those parents who will be applying for a reception place for their child for September 2026 we have arranged a series of visits so that they can look around the schools with senior staff.
If you wish to view a school please see here for the available dates. Obviously we have to limit numbers so only parents/carers who have booked will be able to attend.
