Next Steps Check List

For a smooth transition and admissions process, there are a few actions for you to complete before September, but the very first next steps are as follows:

 

  1. Complete the Online Registration Form (link below) - this will enable us to add you and your child's details to our school management system. We appreciate that there is a substantial amount of information to supply; however, it is essential for us to have all the necessary information at hand. The approximate amount of time required to complete the form is 30 minutes. 
  2. Attend the Parent/Carer Meeting on Wednesday the 12th June at 10am in the school hall - this meeting is an opportunity to meet with staff, find out more about transitioning into Nursery smoothly, uniform requirements, and much more.   
  3. Supply of Official Documentation - kindly supply us with an original copy of your child’s birth certificate and proof of address from within the last three months. This can include a utility or other bill. Documents can be brought into the office at your earliest convenience, where we will make a copy for our records.
