Induction Process for Reception Starters
We understand that starting school can be a big step for both the child and the parents and St. John’s strive to help the children and parents with this transition and minimise any worries or concerns.
Prior to starting, we arrange a Parents’ Information Evening and children are invited to a ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ and dedicated starter sessions, enabling children to familiarise themselves with the new surroundings and routine, and of course to meet their new teachers and classmates!
After the big ‘First Day at School’, children soon settle into life at school and the Early Years Team organise a wide variety of activities to help them become confident and happy at school.
Application Process
Children join our Reception Class in the September at the start of the academic year in which they become five years old. For these starters, the admissions process is managed by Bath & North East Somerset Council (www.bathnes.gov.uk)
If you moving to the area and would like your child to join the appropriate year group, then an In-Year Transfer application may be made direct to the school.
For all potential parents and pupils, we would encourage you to visit our school in advance of an application.
