New beginnings

Welcome to the Westerings family!

You're about to start one AMAZING journey...

We are truly looking forward to welcoming all our new children and families to our 2025 Reception classes in September. Take a look below at all the useful information that Mrs Benstead and her EYFS team have put together for our new starters this summer...

In September the children can bring in a 'Chatterbox' - This is a decorated box (showbox) with special items that tells us about them e.g. a few family photos (these will be used for a display), a special toy, a favourite menu, a ticket from a trip or holiday etc.
