Welcome to Balladen!
We are delighted that your child is joining Balladen Community Primary School this coming September. On behalf of the Staff, Governors, children and parents, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you and your family to our school community! I am Miss Murray and I am the Reception class teacher.
We hope that the information on this page will answer many of the questions that you have about your child starting school with us in September and assure you that we will write to you in the coming weeks with further details about your child’s induction. Please browse the website (class pages, twitter, facebook, home learning) to find out more about how we learn.
This page will be updated with information as it is needed, but in the meantime, if you wish to talk to someone, please call the school or contact me via email at recep@balladen.org.uk.
Transition
We will be talking to pre-school and nursery settings, as we always do, to find out where your child is in their learning. There will be some documents posted out to you soon and a Welcome Pack will be available to view on this page.
