Stay and Play Sessions

Home » Parents » New Intake 2026 » Stay and Play Sessions

This is a great opportunity to give our new children a chance to explore the Early Years classroom and outdoor areas and meet the adults they will work with. For some children it can be quite daunting to visit a big school when it is already full of children, so this scheduled session allows them to investigate the EYFS classrooms and outdoor areas without our current pupils being present.

The children will be able to play with resources inside and outside of the classrooms. This is a good time for our new parents/carers and children to stay and play together. It is also a super chance to meet our Early Years Team and mix with other parents/carers informally.

Stay and Play Session 1  (During The School Day) 

This will be your child’s first opportunity to spend some time in school. You will be met by the Early Years Teachers who will then take the children to the classrooms.

During the hour session, the children will be given opportunity to play and familiarise themselves again with the environment and start to get to know some of the other children who will be in their year group cohort. Parents are welcome to stay for this first session.

Stay and Play Session 2 (After The School Day)

Parents will have the opportunity to meet with each other in the school hall.

Stay and Play Session 3 (After The School Day)

This will be the final visit for your children before they start with us full time and will be the only time that the children all come in at the same time. Once again, they will then get to play with a range of exciting new activities and get to know the children in their class a little better.
