Any parents with children starting Fairlawn Reception in January?

[prdarling]

Wondered if you could help me with a few queries please?

I understand that school starts on Wed 5th but is this for new starters as well?

Is there a phased approached to new Reception kids start times or are they all going in at once?

Are they doing half days for a period of time?

Are the new January starters being used to top up existing classes or are they forming a new class themsleves and if they are all forming a new class who is the teacher going to be?

Thanks if anyone can answer these questions for me

Hi PRD

I sent you a PM last night that covered most of these questions - let me know if you didn't get it...

Just seen it thanks LWL. God they drag it out don't they. Goodrich are just doing w/c 10 Jan as half days with lunch then it's into normal hours. God know what I'll do with him as I work 4 days a week :)

I know what you mean - after they've been in nusery for full days (to 6pm) it seems crazy. But Fairlawn do seem to think that its best in the long run in terms of settling in. It does mean that they don't start properly until 24th January though.
