We understand that starting Reception is a huge milestone for children and parents and we aim to make the transition as smooth as possible in September. To achieve this, we offer a gradual intake programme. Our transition programme has been very well thought through and successful in past years. Our aim is for all children to settle in well, embrace their new environment and to feel happy and secure at school.
We understand that all children are different and have different needs. We will look at each child’s transition on an individual basis and work in partnership with you to ensure that your child is settled and happy at school.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, (Mrs Pindoria, Assistant Headteacher for Early Years & Year 1) if you have any questions or queries. You can email me on newparents@wembleyprimary.brent.sch.uk alternatively you can call the school and I will get back to you.
We look forward to meeting you and your children soon.
