We are really looking forward to meeting your child and please feel free to contact us with any questions or queries.

Many thanks and welcome to Team Ridgeway, Mr Wilson

Transition Dates:

Parent Meeting: Tuesday 7th May 2024, in school at 6pm

Initial visits: To start to get to know the school and the staff, we would love your child to visit us during the week Monday 10th – Thursday 13th June. These visits are 9.30 – 11.30am

Full day Transition: Following the initial visits, we would love to see [Company] for two full days in school on 3rd & 4th July. These days will include lunchtime and will start at 9.30am and finish at 3.00pm.

For dinner, you can either provide your child with a packed lunch or order a school meal on the day. We will cover the cost of the school dinner, so you will not be charged. For both sessions, children will need a drinks bottle, light waterproof coat and their pocket pal.

Seesaw: Transition activities: From July to September can seem like a very long time, especially when you are 4 years old, so we would like to keep in touch with you over the summer. The teaching team will set a few tasks to continue getting to know your child and to remind them who they all are.

There are two accounts for Seesaw, one for parents and one for children. Please use the guide we send to get set up but please remember, just give us a ring if you have any problems and we will do our best to get you set up.
