I am so pleased to hear that you have been offered a place at our fantastic school one of which I am very proud to be headteacher. I am delighted to be welcoming you and your child/ren.
Transition to primary school is an exciting time but for some it can be daunting, which is why we always go to great lengths to ensure we have good communication with the setting children are coming from and that parents and children have had lots of opportunities to become familiar with us.
For our children starting new to Early Years, the Department for Education (DfE) has published a new guide for parents called "What to Expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage" - this guides parents through what to expect with their child’s development and the guide can be found below should you wish to read a copy:
What to expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage: a guide for parents.
Our school values and our motto, ‘Valued as individuals, inspired and nurtured as learners,’ sums up our community. We aim to be resilient, respectful, confident, kind, inclusive and aspirational every day.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Highbury Community.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Watson
Headteacher
