New Starters
We are delighted that your child will be starting school with us in September and we send a very warm welcome to all our new and existing families. At Longmoor we recognise that times of transition can be big life events for both children and their families and aim to offer a structured and supportive approach whereby children feel excited and motivated to take their next steps and where families feel supported. We recognise that transitions can be as small as moving from one room or activity to another, or as large as moving from one setting to another. We believe that gaining a detailed picture of children as individuals will enable us to plan these transitions so as to make them as smooth and positive as possible. We understand that the role of parents as partners is key and that the sharing of information can make the transition process more effective, enabling children to get the most from their Early Years experiences.
In order to support our transition activities in school, we have included some key information here which will hopefully support you and your child to feel happy and excited about the start of their learning journey at Longmoor. If you would like any further information or have any questions at all, please contact us at school and we will be happy to help you.
Starting school is a big milestone for your child and here you can find out more about what life is like in Reception to help make the transition to Reception a smooth one.
More information to come for the September 2026 new starters.
