Milk and Fruit

12.5.25

During the day, all children can have milk and fruit.  At the moment, milk is delivered in individual cartons, so it’s helpful if you can practise (maybe with cartons of fruit juice) – opening the straw wrapper and piercing the small hole at the top with the straw. If children are struggling with this, we will encourage them to ask a friend or an adult for help. Milk is free for children up to the week of their 5th birthday, so please make a note for a couple of weeks before their birthday to pay for milk if you think they would like to continue having it.

All children will be offered a free piece of fruit every day. Throughout the week they will be offered a range of different fruit and vegetables.

We are looking forward to seeing you next week on Monday 19^th May at 6pm for our new starters meeting.  After the meeting FOWI will be selling 2^nd hand uniform.

Thank you for completing the 'getting to know you' online form.  The information you have supplied will help support the transition into school. Please remember to complete this form by 6th May.  The paper forms you will have received are due back into school by Monday 12th May. We understand you won't be able to fill in your child's class on the forms - just leave this bit blank!

Welcome to our 2025 children and families!

25.4.25

We are delighted to welcome our 2025 intake to Woodthorpe Infant School.  We are looking forward to getting to know all of you, and we hope you enjoy being part of our school community.

Please remember to contact Nottinghamshire Admissions, to accept your child's place with us, if you have not already done so.

You will shortly be receiving information packs providing some details about us and requesting some from you.  Please return these by 12th May to allow us to start preparing for September.  Please also follow this link to fill in our online new entrants information by 6th May. This will allow you to let us know a bit more about your child including who their friends are, which will help us to allocate them to their classes. 

Over the next few weeks we will be contacting your children's nurseries to find out a bit more about them, so please make sure that your child's nursery is aware that they will be moving to Woodthorpe Infant School.

A few dates for your diaries:

Monday 19th May - New Parents' Meeting at 6pm - Meet Mrs Bowler and the Foundation team. This will take place in the school hall.  As this is an information meeting, this is for parents or carers only. 

Friday 20th June am - First visit to school - Parents/carers to stay with their child.  Children will be given a time slot during the morning to attend.

Friday 27th June am - Second visit to school - Parents/carers to bring their child into class, stay to settle and then leave the children if you/they feel comfortable.  Again children will be given a time slot.

Thursday 3rd July am - Final visit to school - Parents/carers to bring their child in, settle them briefly and then leave the children.  This will be an hour and a half slot and will give the children chance to meet all their classmates during the session.

We hope that all of these events will help you and your child to feel comfortable with their transition to school, and we look forward to working together to ensure that they have a wonderful start to their school experience.  Please keep your eye on this page as we will be updating it over the next few weeks with information that will help you and your child to get to know a bit more about us.
