September 2025 - Reception Starters Information

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 14th 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.

Induction session

Date: TBC

Uniform

Uniform will be available during the PEEP and induction sessions so that you can check sizing before ordering online. We advise parents to place uniform orders by Friday 5th July. Orders can be collected from the school office.

Please see uniform guidance for more information.
