Home Visits
We believe that it is important and valuable for your child to meet their Class Teacher and their Early Years Assistant in their own home. These visits are 10 minutes in duration and will give you and your child an opportunity to talk about starting school and discuss daily routines.
Early Years Teachers and Assistants will be completing home visits on the following days:
Tuesday 5th September 2023
Wednesday 6th September 2023
Thursday 7th September 2023
Unfortunately we are unable to offer alternative dates for home visits.
