Rising Fives

From February to July we run either one or two separate sessions for children who are due to start school in the following September. All children starting school are eligible to attend, subject to spaces being available. Parents of these children are notified well in advance so that we can decide whether one or two sessions will be needed. If there are insufficient numbers to hold two sessions Rising Fives will run on Tuesday afternoons only, and not Wednesdays as well.

These sessions offer the children an opportunity to extend their skills in all areas of the curriculum in preparation for going to school. The children bring a packed lunch to this session, and change for physical play, as they would at school.

Further details on these sessions are given to parents before the sessions start, or are available on request.
