A Warm Welcome to Haddenham St Mary’s CE School
Open Mornings
Reception Starters September 2022
We are thrilled to be able to offer visits to our school for those wishing to look for a place for their Reception child for September 2022. The open mornings will consist of a live ‘Teams’ meeting on Tuesday 12th October at 10:00am with Karen Collett (Headteacher) and Becky Smith (Acting Deputy-Head and EYFS Lead). There is also a chance to book a school tour on either Monday 18th October or Tuesday 19th October on Eventbrite. A recording of the live presentation on 12th October will be added to this webpage shortly after the meeting has taken place. We would be very grateful if you could try to watch the recording of the meeting before coming on the tour as we anticipate many of your questions will be answered on there and we will then be available through the tour to answer any additional questions you may have.

We have enjoyed welcoming the children back to the new school year and are now operating on our usual timings of 8.55 am and finishing at 3.05pm (LFF times differ, please see the LFF page ). We endeavour to prioritise a happy and fun learning experience for all, whilst continuing to follow our current Covid-19 risk assessment, ensuring we keep our whole community as safe as possible. As always, we will continue to adjust what is necessary in accordance to the government guidelines as and when appropriate. Thank you so much for all your help and support in adhering to our safety requests. Provision is in place for remote learning for any children who are having to self isolate. Whilst we are thrilled to see a more positive outlook ahead, we are committed to maintaining high levels of safety so that we can all continue to move in the right direction. We thank you all for your continued support and understanding.
