Reception Intake September 2020

Firstly, to all our existing families or new families to Tenacres with a child starting in September 2020, thank you for choosing Tenacres.

Currently we are making plans for our Induction process. We pride ourselves on ensuring this is a thorough process which usually happens through June and July. This enables a smooth transition for your child from their current setting to us.

Due to Covid-19 this cannot be done before the summer holidays.

As it is such a valuable process all children need this before they start with us. For those families new to Tenacres this involves the teacher having discussions and visits with your child’s current setting (currently these are starting to happen via telephone discussions), a meeting for parent/carers with myself and teachers, stay and play sessions for your child, discussions with Mrs Oakes our SENCO should your child have additional needs and a home visit.

This process means by the time your child starts their exciting journey with us they are familiar with all the adults and adults with your child, their learning environment and for our parent/carers an understanding of all. This process also enables our parents/carers to ask and discuss all with their child’s class teacher.

Children will not begin at school until late September as the first few weeks this process will take place.

I will be in touch over the coming weeks with our families with further information. Please do not hesitate to contact me via the email [email protected] with any questions you my have.

Miss Marshall, Headteacher
