Children are admitted to full-time education during the academic year in which they are 5.  We welcome the children to visit us prior to starting so that they may become familiar and confident with the daily routines. Parents/carers who are considering sending their child to St Michael’s are most welcome to visit the school. To make an appointment, please use the on-line booking form or alternatively, telephone the school.

Parents/carers are able to put their child’s name down at school to register an interest (this does not mean a place has been offered) at any time. Parents/carers are invited to view the school prior to indicating whether St. Michael’s is to be their choice.

Key Dates for Children starting School 

Starting School

To help prepare your child for a good start you can:

• listen and talk to your child about this change in their lives
• involve your child in getting ready for school by helping choose the things they will need e.g. their uniform, lunchbox, schoolbag
• talk to your school if you have questions or concerns
• support staff in getting to know your child, let them know about e.g. interests, health issues
• keep in touch with the school about anything which may affect your child's learning
• find out how the school will communicate with you

Pre-School to Primary School

Primary teachers work closely with Pre-School staff in their current setting to ensure that information about your child's learning and achievements are passed on. Staff will also share other information which will help the teacher support your child's learning e.g. friendship groups, preferred ways of working.

We would recommend that where possible you attend induction events or introductory sessions - they are designed to let you and your child meet teachers and become familiar with the school.

If you cannot attend an event, contact the school and ask if you can go along at another time. Go prepared with a set of questions covering all the things you and your child want to know about.
