Welcome to Year 1

School Return Questionnaire

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​
