Please try and ensure your child has an opportunity to read with you at least three times a week!

New to Reception
Children often join us during the year. At Caldmore Primary Academy we work hard to ensure all children get a smooth transition into Reception.
Initially you will be offered a new parent meeting where you will have the opportunity to meet your child’s new class teacher, have a guided tour of our Early Years and discuss anything that we might need to know about your child.
We operate an open-door policy where you have the opportunity to talk to our Early Years staff before and after school. We also have Classdojo where you will be able to contact your child’s teachers during the day.
