Reception New Starters

Dear Parents and Carers joining us in September

Welcome!  We hope you are all feeling as excited as we are about child coming to join our school family.  

It has been a strange couple of years at school, with the restrictions we have had to put in place due to Covid, but we are looking forward to things beginning to settle a bit more.  We are hopeful, that this year, we will be able to go ahead with some of our transition activities as we have done previously.  

Later this term, we plan to have a visit for your child in order for them to meet their new friends, meet the staff team and explore the environment.  These are, of course, dependent on the Covid roadmap and further guidance from the Government but we will do everything we can to ensure these go ahead.  We will send further information regarding these shortly. 

For parents/carers of children joining our Reception classes, there will also be an information session.  This may be in person or via zoom (a decision will be made nearer the time).  This will be held on Wednesday 30th June 18:15 -19:00. 

We look forward to working in partnership with you to provide the best possible education for your child.  We know starting school is a big step to take so please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions.  

Best wishes

Miss Geary

WELCOME!

We would like to wish you all a very warm welcome to Radcliffe on Trent Infant and Nursery School. 

Choosing the right school for your child is a really important decision. 

Usually at this time of year we welcome prospective families to our school and give you the opportunity to visit our school during a typical school day, so you can see first-hand what we at Radcliffe on Trent Infant and Nursery School can offer your child, as they embark on their school learning journey. 

This year we need to do things differently to ensure that we keep everyone safe. We have some different options for you so that you can still discover what Radcliffe on Trent Infant and Nursery School has to offer.

Please find below some frequently asked questions you may find useful.

As we are currently unable to offer visits into school we have filmed a school tour so you can get a flavour of our classrooms and shared school spaces.

Also, rest assured that  we have a robust transition in place so children will have plenty of opportunities to get to know our school before they start school.

For the children who joined our school in September 2020 we put a creative virtual transition plan in place.
