We would like to welcome you and your family to Howard Primary School. We hope you enjoyed the summer holidays and are ready to begin a new journey with us. I am sure the children are just as excited about starting school as we are to have them.

Please refer to the Parent Guide for information about our two week staggered entry programme for Reception children. Should you require clarity on anything, please do not hesitate to ask us directly in the morning or contact the school office

During these two weeks, please feel free to join your child in the classroom for self-registration and an activity of their choosing. You may leave when you feel your child has settled sufficiently. We ask that you please return promptly at pick up time.

We look forward to your first week with us.

Kind Regards

Chelsea Class team: Miss Pillay, Mrs Crookes, Miss Thompson and Mrs Carden [/dropshadowbox]

AUTUMN TERM TOPIC: All about me

Settling in: During this week we will focus on getting to know the children and their interests They will also learn about the rules and routines of their new environment. By the end of the week the children should feel more comfortable and settled.

However, please note that every child adapts to new surroundings at their own pace, so if you are concerned about anything, please come and speak to any of our staff and we will be glad to be of assistance. [/dropshadowbox]
