Dear Parent/Carer,

We are very pleased to welcome you and your child to Robert Miles Infant School. We are thrilled to be welcoming back so many families who have already had or have older siblings at our school and look forward to meeting all our new families too.

If you have not done so already, please accept the place offered to you via NCC School Admissions to ensure your school place is confirmed. Details on how to do this are on the email or letter you received offering your place, but if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.

We will be holding a welcome meeting for parents on Wednesday 15th May at 5.00pm, in our school hall. This is an opportunity to meet the Head Teacher and Early Years staff who will share key information about starting school, including school uniform and details about the school day. You will receive a welcome pack at the meeting, with admissions forms to complete. Please include a copy of your child’s birth certificate and signed copies of the various consent forms when returning the admissions form. At the meeting, we will share information about the children’s first week at school.

The welcome meeting is aimed at adults, but we have some visits planned for your child to support the transition process. The dates are:

Stay and Play session on Wednesday 5th June. This is an opportunity for parents and children to come together and play alongside each other, as well as meet some of the Reception staff. During the welcome meeting, you will be asked to choose a morning session (10.00-11am) or afternoon session (1.30-2.30pm).

Each child will also be allocated 2 transition visits, for children only, on the following dates:

Thursday 20th June - AM (9.30-11am)

and

Wednesday 3rd July - PM (1.30pm - 3pm)

We will update our ‘New Starters’ page on the school website when new communications are sent out, so please check this regularly to ensure you have all the most up-to-date information: RMI website - New Starters

Please could you confirm that you have received this letter and let us know if you are able to attend the welcome meeting, on Wednesday 15th May, by emailing the school office: office@rmischool.co.uk.
