EYFS Admissions

Please find information that will be useful to you to help your child when they start school in September 2025.

Information for Parents

Our leaflet, 'Welcome to Early Years at Icknield Primary School,' has lots of useful information about our Early Years provision, including key members of staff, how we share information about your child's learning and things to do to help ready your child for school.

For families who have been offered a place with us in September 2025 we will be holding an information meeting for parents on the 17th June from 3.45pm to 4.45pm. At the meeting you will be given a pack that details your child's class, teacher and their timetable for starting school in September. It will also have the time for their class to attend our Transition Day activities.

You will also receive information on Tapestry, a dedicated portal for sharing the children's learning and accessing photographs taken of events and activities at school. We ask that you complete and return this form on the meeting day.

We have lots of important information to share with you and are sure that you will have many questions to ask too! To help us with this we ask that if possible parents attend the meeting and children are cared for at home. The children will be able to meet their new teacher and explore our classrooms at our Stay and Play transition day on Friday 4th July.

All parents will be sent a link to set up a log-in for an app linked to our school information system - Arbor. This will allow you to share additional information about your child/children and we will be able to officially register your child/children’s formal details.

When you receive this link please click on it and you will be asked to set up an account (if you are already a parent or carer of a child at the school you will be able to link your new child to your existing account). Please complete this information urgently if you have not already done so.

Resources to Help Your Child Start School

This is a great game to play with your child. Help your child create his or her character and pick a school jumper, then explore the school and find all the different activities to play.

Once the register has been taken, have a go at painting, block-building or making a calm jar. Keep an eye out for fun things to explore in the classroom - is that a butterfly?
