Welcome to Year 1
Dear Parents of children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6,
As you are aware, the government is asking primary schools to welcome back children from Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 from the week commencing 1st June and we are currently making plans for this.
To this end, I am asking parents to complete the short questionnaire for each child in the year groups above on the attached link by Tuesday 19th May.

Yours sincerely
Mrs Mantilas
