This year presents us with a particularly challenging induction process as we need to meet sixty new children at the beginning of the Autumn term. As we do not have the benefit of having our own Nursery from which the children are transferring, the children will be part of a staggered entry programme so that we can get to know the children and carry out some initial assessments.
I apologise for any inconvenience that this causes but I do hope you understand that our aim is to ensure that the children have the best possible start to their school life at Crabtree Infants. We have endeavoured to give you an appropriate amount of time to make the necessary arrangements. The school environment will make different demands on the children compared to their nursery experience and we have always found that a staggered entry programme is the most successful.
