Transition into Reception
Children start school in the September of the school year in which they will be 5. We want to make sure that our children are ready for their next stage in learning, so we work closely with the local schools in ensuring that they have the best transition to Reception as possible. Children in nursery mainly transfer to one of the Pinxton Village Acadamies - John King Infant Academy or Longwood Infant Academy. Nursery works together with both schools, with the reception staff visiting Nursery and teaching the children songs that they will sing at school.
The Brigg have their open evenings on 02.11.21, 10.11.21 or 18.11.21 if you would like to have a look around the school.
