Week beginning 8th September 2025

Welcome to Reception!

Welcome to all our new children and families starting Reception at Earlswood! It has been lovely meeting the children and yourselves during the school visits and we hope that you have enjoyed them too. 

We are looking forward to welcoming the children on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th September for their half day sessions. Children are to wear their school uniform and bring a water bottle. The children will not be having lunch at school on these days. The morning sessions are 9am-11:30am and the afternoon sessions are 12:30-3pm. These sessions have already been assigned. If you are unsure of your session time please contact the school.

Thursday 11th September will be the children's first full day of school. They will be having lunch at school, please let us know of any dietary requirements if you have not done so already. 

Please see the uniform policy here: Uniform

Every day the children need to bring a named:

- Water bottle 

- Sun hat

- Water proof coat

- Spare clothes (these can be kept on their peg)

Sun cream needs to be applied before the children come to school.
