Today saw the FS1 students start to arrive and join the school. They were greeted by Ms Isla and her team and taken with their parents to the wonderful FS1 area where they played and got familiar with the surroundings. It is important that the students feel welcome, happy and safe in their first experience at the school so they can start to learn through play. The process also includes a home visit where the teachers and Teaching assistants will go to the homes of the new students so their first meeting with new people is in a familiar setting making it easier to settle when they come to school for the first time.
I hope this message finds you well and full of excitement about the start of a brand new academic year. It was great to see our school buzzing with life once again as students, with faces both familiar and new, filling the hallways, classrooms, playgrounds, and learning spaces.
