Welcome
We are delighted that you and your child are thinking of joining St Paul's Catholic School this coming September. On behalf of the Staff, Governors, children and parents, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you and your family to our school community.
We hope that the information on this page will answer many of the questions that you have about your child starting school with us in September.
Please watch our welcome video below.
Transition
Transition
We will be talking to pre-school and nursery settings, as we always do, to find out where your child is in their learning. We will also be talking to you directly to find out about your child's preferences; things they particularly enjoy, find difficult etc. These conversations usually take place within the context of a home visit, however if this is not possible, due to the current situation, we will think creatively to ensure that we receive all of the information that we need about your child.
The links below have some useful resources to support with transition.
The BBC have put together some articles, videos and resources to support you and your child with starting primary school.
