Harborne Primary School
Starting Reception in 2025
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:
