Transition arrangements for children starting school in September 2021
As you may already be aware, transition arrangements for schools have had to be adapted this year, to ensure that we safely maintain our current learning bubbles. Therefore, we will be hosting ‘Stay and Play’ Sessions for our new 2021 Reception cohort when the new academic year starts in September 2021. The table below* outlines the timeline designed to support you and your child in starting school with us at St Mary’s, Washington:
