As a school, it is of the utmost importance that we set secure foundations for children’s lifelong learning, starting with their transition to Reception. We understand the importance of seeing the learning environments first-hand and acquainting yourself with the class teachers prior to your child starting school.

For this reason, on confirmation of your child's place, Highfield operates an induction afternoon and 'Learning Together' sessions, all prior to the summer holidays. We will also be operating a staggered start at the beginning of September for all Reception children.

Registration Form  - All new parents need to complete the registration form below by 2nd June 2025 at the very latest (which can be emailed back to school office info.highfield@sfet.org.uk or dropped off in person).

If you require a paper copy they will be available at the PEEP and induction sessions.

We also require a copy of your child's birth certificate (no originals please). These can be scanned into info.highfield@sfet.org.uk

PEEP sessions

We will be offering sessions where you and your child (younger siblings also welcome) can come and enjoy an hour of songs, rhymes, stories, Reception learning experiences and informal talks for parents and carers, led by our Early Years Lead who will be joined by the Reception team.

PEEP session dates are; 

Tuesday 10th June, Tuesday 17th June and Tuesday 24th June. These sessions will run from 9:00am until 10:00am each week and will be based in the school hall.

Induction session

Wednesday 2nd July - Reception induction session - 1.30pm to 2.30pm

Your child will spend time in their new class and during this time our Assistant Headteacher who oversees Early Years will talk to you about various aspects of school life so that you have all the information needed to help your child settle in.
