Sadly, this year we are unable to welcome you into our school for a look around.

Hopefully the virtual tour below will give you a flavour of our Early Years learning environment. Just click on the picture below and join us for a brief walk around the Nursery and Reception classrooms.

Starting school is an important stage in your child’s life, whether it is Nursery or Reception. Here at Peterbrook School, we believe that through working in close partnership with parents, we are able to make it a positive and pleasurable experience for both you and your child.

The induction process helps us to foster a working partnership with yourselves and provides your child with a period of familiarisation with the staff and peers. We would encourage you to become as involved as possible with our planned activities even if your child already attends the school.

Parent Information Evening 2021

  June 2021

Main School Hall

Once the places have been offered we will send out the invites for the Parent Information Evening. This is an important meeting where we share information about starting school and we would encourage all parents whose children we be starting Nursery or Reception in 2021 to attend.

Please bring your child's birth certificate along to the meeting, so that we can verify your child's name and date of birth.

'Welcome to Nursery' Workshop 2021

Nursery - September 2021

The 'Welcome to Nursery' workshop enables parents to come together for an informal session and share their feelings and concerns about their child starting school.

Starting at Peterbrook Primary School

September 2020

At Peterbrook Primary School we have a staggered intake in both Nursery and Reception. Staff are able to support individual pupils with the transition into the school environment and to establish important routines. It also enables the children to feel safe and secure in their new environment.

Reception Pupils

Pupils who turn 5 years during the academic year September 2020 - August 2021

Only pupils who are new to school attend for the first few days at the beginning of term. This enables the staff to support them in smaller groups and allows the children time to become familiar with the new environment. They are allocated a class, where we feel they will be most suited. All pupils will be full time within one week.

Nursery Pupils

Pupils who turn 4 years during the academic year September 2020 - August 2021

The pupils attend the first few sessions in smaller groups to enable the staff to support them in smaller groups and allows the children to become familiar with the new environment. All pupils will be attending normal sessions within one week.
