A Big Hello to Our Future Families!

As we get closer to National Offer Day on Thursday 16th April, We Can’t Wait to Welcome You!

Whether your child is starting school for the very first time or joining us from another setting, please know we are truly excited about the journey ahead.

We’re counting down the days until National Offer Day and can’t wait to find out who will be joining our school family this August 2026.

We’re delighted to introduce the adults who will welcome our new starters this year:

Miss Wardle – Class Teacher

Loving, energetic and passionate about early years learning, Miss Wardle is dedicated to helping every child feel at home from the moment they step through the door. She brings creativity, kindness and a sparkle of fun to every school day.

Mrs Rennocks – HLTA

Warm, experienced and endlessly supportive, Mrs Rennocks is always ready with a smile and reassuring word. She loves working closely with families and children to build confidence and independence in those early weeks.

You’ll be seeing lots more of them over the coming months — including at Stay & Play sessions and during our summer home visits!

Stay tuned for updates, information and celebrations over the next few weeks — we have lots planned to help you feel prepared, supported and welcomed.

Here’s to new beginnings, new friendships… and our newest little Buzzy Bees!
