We have three of these 'getting to know us' sessions spread over a few weeks. We encourage all children to come to all three of these sessions.

** There are two groups which are on different days or times, so please ensure you look at your letter to find out which dates you are invited to.

You are invited to a new parents' information evening on Thursday 19th June at 6.30pm.  We aim to make this a short informal session that gives you much of the information you need to help with the starting school process.

Please note this is intended to be an information session for parents/carers and therefore is not suitable for children to attend.

Am I ready for school?

When your child starts primary school there are a number of skills that they should ideally have mastered. 

We offer Breakfast Club facilities every day during term time for all children who attend The Avenue Infant School. It is based in the school hall and children can be left from 7.45am in the morning to have breakfast. 

The latest time children can arrive at the club is 8.15am.

Children will have their breakfast when they arrive, and they then play some quiet games, draw or read until our staff members take them to their classrooms in time for the start of the school day.

Charges for Breakfast Club are £3.50 per day.

These prices are correct as at April 2024 and are subject to change.  We reserve the right to increase our prices. Bookings and payment are managed online by School Money.

If you would like your child to attend either as a one-off or on a regular basis you will need to complete the registration form and return this to the school office.

Please note that children cannot attend breakfast club until they are in school full time, and we have received the Registration form.

Our After School Club is based here at The Avenue Infant School, the  club is for children who attend either The Avenue Infant School or Park Junior School.

The club is open from 3.15pm to 6.00pm Monday to Friday during term time.

The club provides a fun, relaxed and caring environment where children can play freely as well as participate in the range of exciting activities that will be available each day. A healthy, substantial snack is provided at each session and included within the price.

Fees for the After School Club are:

The funding is used by the school to support your child, for example, free school trips, provide learning resources for home, pastoral support if required and additional learning support for your child's individualised learning needs.

This funding can really help make a significant difference to your child's progress.

If you are in receipt of the following your child could be eligible:

• Income Support
• Income Based Job Seekers Allowance
• Child Tax Credit Only (with income to £16,190) with no element of Working Tax Credit
• National Asylum Seekers Support
• Guarantee Element of the State Pension Credit
• Employment and Support Allowance (income related)

All children at The Avenue are eligible for free school meals, so you will need to apply separately for Pupil Premium Funding for the school to provide additional support and resources if you are eligible.
