WELCOME to our Reception intake information page

We are delighted that your child will be joining our school, and are very much looking forward to getting to know them!

Starting school is an exciting time and we understand that you will have lots of questions to ask us.  We do hope that our carefully planned induction process helps the transition into school life. We always very much enjoy meeting you and your children during the induction period whether it be during our visits to pre-school settings, at our parent information evening or during the settling in sessions.  

Please do refer to the copy of our YR induction booklet in the link below. We hope that you will find this document useful in preparation for starting school but if you have any further questions, please do contact us at admin@chalfordhill.gloucs.sch.uk. 

Kind regards
