15. How will St Mary’s Fields prepare and support my child when they are new to the school?

St Mary’s Fields admits many children during the school year, children of all ages.  If your child has a special need we will discuss this at the admission meeting and the new teacher will be fully informed of his needs.  It really helps when parents are open to school about their child’s needs, especially older children who have been to school before.  We really value advice that parents give us to support their child in school.

Your child will be informally assessed quite quickly by the group or class teacher.  If there are any concerns we will contact you for a chat to share our thoughts.  We will also arrange for any support or intervention that seems appropriate.
