Information

On this page, you will find all the information for starting school in Reception Class 2026-27

We are looking forward to welcoming you and your child to our school. As part of our transition arrangements, you will be able to book a telephone call with Mrs Garratt. This will be an opportunity for you to give us background information about your child and for you to ask us questions about your child’s first school days. These will be timetabled in for either Monday 29th June or Monday 6th July.  We will be in contact soon to organise these. In preparation for the phone call, we would like you to consider the questions further in this letter, ready to discuss with us. 

We will also be doing a meet and greet at the school on Wednesday 15th July, where you will be able to come to the school gate, walk around to visit your child’s new classroom and pick up your child’s new book bag and special gift! 

We also wanted to give you some key dates for September.  Our official start date is Tuesday 1st September but there will be an INSET day on Tuesday 1st. We are going to have smaller groups of children attend on Wednesday 2nd, Thursday 3rd September and Friday 4th September. 

We will be telling you your child’s first day during your phone call with Mrs Garratt. 

ALL children will then be in school from Monday 7th September and will be attending full time.  

Please be reassured that we are going to do all we can to ensure your child has a smooth transition and we will do our best to answer any questions you may have on the following email reception@roche.tpacademytrust.org 

Please can we have all your completed and dropped forms to the office by Friday 26th June. You can also drop them in Mon-Fri anytime between 8 am and 3.30 pm. Press the bell button at the main gate and a member of staff will let you in.

Please be reassured that we are going to do all we can to ensure your child has a smooth transition during this time and we will do our best to answer any questions you may have on the following email reception@roche.tpacademytrust.org

Many thanks for your cooperation.
