Welcome to Lovelace

We are delighted that you and your child will be joining our school family this year. This is the start of a new adventure that will be filled with exciting, emotional, joyful and nerve-wrecking moments – for all of us!! Our staff are here to support you and the information on our website and in your information packs will be able to answer many of the questions you have at the moment.

It was great to meet with so many of you at our summer term welcome event and the stay and play in July. Whilst we gave out much of the information on the day, we have prepared some additional resources to welcome you to our school community.

There is a transition book for both Reception and Nursery – as well as handbooks – see links below. There is a Teachers welcome videos page. It has a slideshow of photos to show examples of the engaging activities and exciting events that your child will experience during the year that will enable them to explore, develop and extend their skills and knowledge. I hope you enjoy talking to your child about these. The class teachers have chosen a story to share with their new children. Sharing these with your child at home will help them feel more familiar with what to expect when they start either in Reception or Nursery in September.

If there is anything you feel you would like to ask us or speak with us about, please contact us. We are happy to help.

I look forward to meeting you all in September.

Alison Hopkins

Head of Early Years
