Welcome Reception 2020-21
We are looking forward to meeting you all in September
Welcome
On this page you will find information to support transition for your child starting our school in September. Ordinarily the induction presentation would be delivered during an evening meeting with parents and carers however due to the current Covid-19 circumstances we are unable to.
The induction information presentation has all the information you need from uniforms, to the school day, important information and much more. Please take your time going through it and if you have any queries please call the office and your messages will be passed to the Early Years team.
Also on this page you will find a checklist of activities to practice over the Summer holidays to ready your child for school and a St Michael’s checklist of items to bring on your first day.

STIKINS Name Labels
It’s really important that you name all of your child’s belongings as things can get mislaid in a busy school. By naming uniform and belongings we can sensure things get returned quickly when they are found. We recommend the use of STIKINS labels. These multipurpose stick on name labels are suitable for all kinds of school items, including school uniform, P.E. kit, and subject equipment. Click on the link below to order and enter the code on the leaflet that can be found in your welcome pack.
