We are delighted that you have chosen a place for your child at Hounsome Fields Primary School. We are looking forward to starting our journey together.

We know how important this milestone is for your children and your family. Our aim is to make this transition as smooth and welcoming as possible. This is a truly exciting time, and we will collaborate to ensure that it is enjoyable and memorable.

June
There will be correspondence sent out soon to inform you of the dates to have a tour of the school with the Headteacher Mr Carter.

July
One date to note is Tuesday 1st July - we will be hosting an Induction day where your children will spend time in the classroom with the teaching team - during this time you will have a presentation from Mr Carter and receive information from the uniform, school dinners and wrap around care teams.

There will be additional transition events and activities in July - more information on this will be sent out to you soon. 

The school will officially open in September following the Summer holiday break. 
We have carefully planned a transition that will give you and your children a calm and settled start to school life at Hounsome Fields Primary School.
