New Starters 2020 Information
Starting school is a milestone, not only for your child but also for you. You may be excited or perhaps a little concerned about your child taking these first steps towards independence. At Parley First School, we aim to build a good relationship between home and school so that everybody involved can ensure your child gets the very best out of their school experience. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office should you require any further information or use the New Starter Contact Form below to send a message directly to the Reception team. Coronoavirus Update : Our priority is to provide you with the help and guidance you need, in readiness for your child’s first day at our school, however, due to the Covid19 restrictions currently in place we are going to have to approach transition in a different way. Therefore all events listed below have been postponed until further notice and may have to be changed significantly once further details are available from the Dept of Education. Communications will be via Parentmail and through this page and we will endeavour to bring you updated information as soon as possible. |
Calendar of Events
1.....New Parents Information Evening
During June each year an evening is arranged for parents to meet the Early Years teachers, Headteacher and members of POPS and the Governing Body. The evening is intended for parents/guardians only.
At this meeting we will be sharing information about what your child will need to start school, as well as gathering information from parents to ensure as smooth a transition as possible for our youngest pupils. Please click on the video presentation below for our 'Virtual Guide for Parents 2020'
