Reception Admissions
There are 60 Reception places at St. Andrew and St Francis CE Primary School. Each class is staffed with a Class Teacher and a Teaching Assistant.
Children admitted to the Reception, start school in the Autumn Term in a staggered intake system for the first week.
An induction meeting for entry into the Reception class is held each Summer Term prior to the September start date. This is so that pupils and parents can meet the Reception Teachers and Teaching Assistants.
Details of the staggered entry system into the Reception year will be made available to parents prior to their child's September start date.
