TRANSITION FROM THE HIVE PRE-SCHOOL TO INFANT SCHOOL
A strong emphasis on exploration, investigation, discovery and problem-solving.
Children currently attending The Hive are automatically offered a place in Reception for the September following their fourth birthday. No additional admissions application is required.
We are committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition from The Hive into the Infant School. Throughout the academic year, Reception teachers spend time getting to know the children in The Hive while the children have opportunities to visit the Reception classes and explore their future learning and play environments. These visits help build familiarity, confidence and excitement ahead of starting the Infant School, while allowing teachers and children to establish positive relationships ahead of transition.
To support parents in this important milestone, parents are invited to an Information Session during the Summer Term. This provides an opportunity to meet Reception teachers and teaching assistants, learn more about our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, and gain an understanding of School routines, our wraparound care provision, as well as our extensive Enrichment Programme.
We recognise that the move from pre-school to Infant School can feel both exciting and daunting for parents and their children. With extensive experience in supporting families, you can be assured that every child is nurtured and encouraged as they settle into their new School life.
