Advice for Early Years

Some wise words collected from current parents that might help make your life easy

  • Coloured house shirts are not required for Early Years
  • For Nursery girls it’s always handy to have extra knickers and shorts or tracksuit bottoms in gym bag just in case of accidents
  • No blazers required for Early years (Nursery and Reception) & no blazers are required for first half of Autumn term for Prep even though your daughter will be in summer uniform.
  • There is a small café, Café Metro, located 3 mins walk away on Christchurch Rd just after Cintra Rd and before the University if you want to grab a coffee before picking up your daughter
  • For those girls planning parties early on in the academic year, a list of names can be obtained from the teachers, you can then hand them the invitations for distribution. 
  • If you were thinking of doing ballet, please sign your daughter up ASAP as the classes will get fully booked. Most of Nursery take part
  • Nursery and Reception:  Ballet gear not needed but advisable as every other little girl will be wearing it (Pink leotard, Pink skirt, Pink socks and Ballet slippers).
  • I would recommend buying a big PE bag and not bothering with the smaller slipper bag & label everything
