Welcome to Chase BridgeOur vision is for all children to excel at learning, be able to

express their talents and know how to care for others.

Summer 2019

“Let children be children. A

skilled five year old grows

from a busy four year old, a

curious three year old, a

cuddled two year old, an

adventurous one year old

and a communicative baby.”

Welcome to Chase Bridge!

Home Visits and

Teacher/Parent Conferences

Home visits are ‘short and sweet’ (15-20 minutes) to give your child the opportunity to meet us in their own familiar environment

If your child attended Nursery at Chase Bridge, you will be offered a school visit instead of a home visit

These meetings are an important opportunity for you to share any personal information that will help us to ensure your child makes a great start

Before your child starts

Complete all

paperwork

including

medical/dietary

information

Starting School – a quick goodbye… On the way to school, talk to your child about all the

exciting learning they will be doing: ‘I wonder if the dinosaurs

will be out today?’

Remind them of the friends they will be seeing.

Drop off with a smile (even if you are struggling to fight back

the tears). Assure them that they will have fun at school,

learning new things. If you look scared or anxious it will make

them feel unsure about the situation – be the best actor you

can be! A quick goodbye is best.

If your child is upset, it is helpful to remind them of what they

will do after school – going to the park, off to the high street,

nanny and granddad picking up etc.

questions or concerns

Reception Curriculum Evening

There will be a curriculum evening during the first term

where you will be invited to learn more about how and what

the children will be learning.

eligible for the Pupil Premium.

cost of school uniform, clubs and also special class trips or

workshops.

(Family Worker) and the office staff are happy to help.

LD

What do I do if...

My child is ill? Please ring school as soon as possible

and leave a message on the answer phone. If your

child has had sickness or diarrhoea they will need to

wait 48 hours before returning to school.

Punctuality is very important for your child … BUT

… if you are late for a session: You will need to

bring your child to the main entrance where they

will be marked in as late and taken round to class.

I am late picking up after school? Please ring school

as soon as possible. Your child will stay in the main

reception area with an adult until you arrive.

Someone else is picking up my child? Please put a

message in the message book or ring the office and

the message will be passed to us. Your child will not

be allowed to go home with somebody else if we

have not been told.
