We would like to welcome you and your family to Howard Primary School. We hope you enjoyed the summer holidays and are ready to begin a new journey with us. I am sure the children are just as excited about starting school as we are to have them.

Please refer to the Parent Guide for information about our two week staggered entry programme for Reception children. Should you require clarity on anything, please do not hesitate to ask us directly in the morning or contact the school office

During these two weeks, please feel free to join your child in the classroom for self-registration and an activity of their choosing. You may leave when you feel your child has settled sufficiently. We ask that you please return promptly at pick up time.

We look forward to your first week with us.

Kind Regards

Chelsea Class team: Miss Pillay, Mrs Crookes, Miss Thompson and Mrs Carden [/dropshadowbox]
