Welcome and thank you if you have accepted a place for your child at Harborne Primary School. 

Please collect your new starter pack from the school office and return it as soon as possible if you not already done so.  All site allocations have now been made.

When you return your pack to school please bring:

-proof of address, e.g. Council Tax bill and

-identification for your child, ideally their birth certificate and passport too, if possible.

We have now held all our Stay and Play sessions at both our sites, and thank parents and carers for attending these as part of our transition process.  We are now finalising our classes after meeting the children at these sessions and contacting their nurseries.

 Induction Sessions 

These sessions are an opportunity for your child to spend time in their classroom whilst you find out some information about school routines. 

They will be held on the following dates and times:

Main Site, Station Road classes -Wednesday 2nd July,  9.30am -10.30am  and 1.30-2.30pm

Annex, Court Oak Road class-Thursday 3rd July, 9.30am -10.30am  and 1.30-2.30pm

You will receive notification by email of which time to attend, with further information about important dates for when your child starts school in September.  Please view the 'September overview version 2' document below.

To summarise:

Week 1 Home visits- appointments to be made by class teachers before the end of term.

PLEASE NOTE: In response to our recent OFSTED report, staff will have 3 training days from 1st-3rd September.  This training is essential for all staff.  

Unfortunately, this means we will not have the capacity for all of our new Reception children to have a home visit as planned.  We are sorry about this, as we do value getting to know our families in their own settings.  We will contact you to let you know if you will receive a home visit or not.  

Week 2 School starts on either Monday or Wednesday, with all children doing half days with lunch

Week 3 All children have 3 full days and 2 half days across the week

Week 4 Children may attend school for full days (if appropriate)
