Induction Events

If you choose St Nicolas’ Infants as your child’s first school, we offer a structured induction process based on experience and parental feedback, designed to welcome your child into our school in a manner which ensures s/he is happy and comfortable with what is happening. It is also designed to give you, as parents and carers, confidence in us.

In the summer term before your child starts in reception, we offer:

 Visits to the classroom by you and your child to meet the teacher and teaching assistant, and other children who will be in the class;

 A parents’ meeting at which you can meet members of staff, Governors, and the Parent Staff Association. We will discuss all the practicalities about starting school (uniform, dropping off and picking up arrangements, etc.) and you can ask any questions you have;

 A visit from the class teacher to see your child at pre-school and the opportunity to talk with key staff.

In the Autumn term in which your child starts school, we offer:

- Meet the Teacher appointments in September before your child starts school.

- Reading and writing workshop to discuss the school’s approach to teaching and learning and how you can help support this at home.

- Tapestry talk on how to use this app/website

- A Parents’ Evening around half-term to discuss your child’s progress so far.

- An ‘open door’ approach so you can pop in and chat.

Before your child starts school you are also warmly invited to bring him/her into school on other occasions such as the May Fair.
