Nursery Induction 2025-26

Thank you to all the families who attended our Induction night at the Westville Hotel.
At the meeting parents were presented with information about the Nursery School by the Associate Principal, Mrs Humphreys, Mrs Pattison and Mrs McBride (teachers). Mrs Whitton informed parents of the ni app.
Parents became better acquainted with the Induction Process. They were informed of the website amendments.
Parents/Carers were able to meet and get to know other parents in their child's year group. School data capture forms were completed. Thank you for your interest and attendance.
Induction Day (June)
On Friday 13th June 2025, the 2025-26 nursery school pupils attended an induction session with their parents/carers in the classroom.
This provided an opportunity for parents and children to meet the staff and other parents and children in small groups. Thank you for the lovely comments received. We loved meeting both you and your children.
Phased Induction for August/ September 2025
The pupils start nursery school on Thursday 28th August. This is the start of our new term.
The phased induction is over five weeks which takes us up to the end of September.
We are inducting the children in three groupings for the first three weeks. We have called them Groups A, B and C. This means your child will start and finish at different times for this period. You will be able to follow the timetable. The timetabling allows for a time extension as the weeks go by.
By Week 4, we would envisage having all three groupings coming into school together from 8:50 to 11 :30am. By Week 5, which is the last week in September, we will have most pupils staying until 12 noon or 12:40 if they are staying for lunch.
Some pupils will take longer to settle for various reasons and your child’s teachers are best placed to make that decision. They have lots of experience of inducting children to nursery school and aim for smooth transitions. Your child's needs are paramount and we will seek to make the best decision for your child. Please trust their professionalism.

It is possible that we will start lunches with a few at a time in Week 5. Staying for lunch will depend on how the children are coping and on the class dynamics.
We want to establish good lunchtime routines. This could mean that some of the children will go home at 12 noon on Week 5. Each child is different. We will keep you informed.
It could be mid to late October before we have all children integrated on a full day to 1:30pm. For some, a shorter day to 12 noon will be more beneficial for the child.
