Reception Induction

The Foundation Stage door is open from 8.40 to 9 am for children to free flow into school. School finishes at 3.10.

We have 3 classes of up to 30 children in Foundation Stage.

These are Red, Yellow and Blue Class.

Look out for details of your child's class in the induction pack.

The class lists are put together extremely carefully, taking into full consideration parental requests, advice from nursery, nursery friendship groups and ensuring an even mixture of girls and boys as well as Summer and Winter born children.

Obviously, we don’t yet know your children, and while it is most likely that these class groups will travel throughout the school years in these classes, they are not set in stone.

From time to time, for a variety of reasons, we find we need to make necessary adjustments and changes after the Foundation Year and before Year 1 in order to ensure the best possible journey through school.

Yes. For children in Foundation Stage is provided by Kids Planet Anchorsholme. Follow this link for more information.

It is really important to prepare your child for school. The more you can do to prepare them the better. Please read the below alongside our school induction booklet and useful websites.

We like all our children to wear the school uniform, which is as follows:

Winter: October - Easter

• Grey skirt/pinafore or grey tailored trousers
• White blouse/shirt
• School tie
• Navy blue cardigan/pullover/or school sweatshirt
• Black school shoes

Summer: Easter - October Half Term

• Blue and white gingham dress, jumpsuits or grey trousers/shorts
• Short sleeved polo shirt sky blue
• Black school shoes

Each child should also have a pump bag, dark blue shorts, a school T-shirt (in the appropriate house colour – of which you will be advised) and plimsolls.
Any item containing a school logo is available to purchase from:

Bispham Clothing,
All Hallows Road,
Bispham.

Or we have a wide selection of preloved school uniform, please enquire at the school office.

Please ensure that your child's name is CLEARLY MARKED on all his/her belongings, including shoes. We expect all children to take pride in their appearance. With this in mind, extremes of fashion, such as garish bows and extreme hair styles are not allowed in school.

Any extra information you may require about the curriculum, school life and policies can be found within our website.

If your child has any allergies, medical conditions, dietary requirements or if you are concerned about your child's development please ring our school office on 01253 855215 and ask to speak to Mrs Foster or Mrs Carter from our SEND team.
