New Reception Pupils and Families

We are very pleased that your child will be joining Firs Primary School in September 2025 and we look forward to a happy and successful partnership. We will share important information, pictures of our wonderful setting and other useful documents on this page, so please do check back regularly.

We look forward to meeting you all at our Parent Meeting, Open Evening and other events (please see the transition letter below). If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Reception Classrooms

After meeting you all and learning about your interests, we have made a few changes to our classrooms. Why not have a little look...

Reception Welcome Meeting

It was lovely to meet so many of you at our Reception Welcome meeting. The presentation has been emailed to you and there is also a copy below.

Reception 2025-2026 Transition Letter

Our transition letter details our robust transition process, which aims to support all children and their families as they join Firs Primary School. It also gives details about school uniform and our September transition period. If you have not yet been emailed a copy of this letter, and you have accepted a place at our school, please contact the school office and we will look into this for you.

Getting ready to start school

Starting school can be very exciting but we understand that some children (and adults) feel nervous about the change. There are many ways that you can support your child to be as ready as they can be to start school. The poster below is full of ideas of what 'ready for school' may mean for you and your child. The summer holidays are a perfect time to practise independence skills such as toileting, hand washing and getting dressed. We will give you more information at our Parents and Carers Meeting.
