Reception Admissions - September 2020

Updated 15th April 2020

We would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to all the new children and families who will be joining our Reception class in September. In light of the current situation of school closures due to Covid-19, our transition arrangements will look a little different this year and we are as yet unable to finalise our plans.

We will be in touch with you as soon as we can with details but in the meantime, Knowsley have created this website with FAQs and further information.

We are looking forward to working with you in September and wish you all good health.
