Starting School

Starting school is a huge milestone in every child's development. At Furze Platt Infant School, we are passionate about giving every child the best possible start to their school journey. We are committed to working with parents, families and other professionals and believe that with good preparation and encouragement, most children will settle in easily and happily at school.

SEPTEMBER 2024 ADMISSIONS - EARLY YEARS CHILDREN ONLY

 

Induction Mornings

Children starting school in Early Years in September 2024 will be invited to an Induction Morning session in school. Dates for this years induction mornings are Tuesday 25th, Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th June.  There will be an opportunity to meet their new class teacher and for the children and parents to spend time in their new classroom with their new classmates.  Invitations will be sent out in early June, as soon as class lists are finalised. 

 

School Visits

We will be offering school visit appointments on Thursday 5th, Friday 6th and Monday 9th September.  These will consist of a 20-minute appointment in school for parents and their child to meet on a 1:1 basis with their new class teacher.

 

Starting school

Our Early Years children's first day at school will be Tuesday 10th September.  We want to make sure that your child’s start to school life is a happy and positive one and therefore there will be a gradual increase in school hours during the first few weeks (please see table below) to help them settle in and become familiar with daily routines.
