EYFS starters 2025

I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all families who have a child joining us at Little Stoke in September 2025. We welcome those of you who already have children in school and those of you who are joining us for the first time. All our friendly staff are looking forward to meeting your child and we know that this is just the start of an exciting journey of learning and discovery!

As well as the induction evening we will hold a Teddy Bear’s picnic induction event.

Do contact the school via phone or email if you need some urgent questions answered before September.

Best wishes,

Mr Dan Ross

(Headteacher)

Starting school September 2025, key dates:

From Tuesday 2^nd – Thursday 4^th September we will visit parents with their children at home. Your child will not attend school during these days. These are friendly, brief visits to your home and have proven to help transition from home to school for most children. We will arrange these visits with you during the Induction sessions and Teddy Bear’s Picnic.
On Friday 5^th September, you are invited, with your child, to attend either a morning or afternoon short session in the classroom.

Your child will start coming to school on a part-time basis between Monday 8^th and Friday 12^th September.
From Monday 15^th – Wednesday 17^th September – all children will be in together on these days but for shorter days, 9:00am-1:15pm.
From Thursday 18^th September, all children will attend school full time, every day.
