Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, regrettably we are unable to invite parents into school for a tour of Berkswich CE primary and nursery. We understand that choosing the right setting for your child is one of the most important decisions that you will make in your child’s learning journey. With this in mind, we hope to provide you with a range of opportunities to allow you to gain an insight into life as part of our special Berkswich community and the chance to ask questions. We certainly welcome the opportunity to support and reassure you as you organise your child’s first steps into Nursery and Reception. We are offering virtual meetings to provide an opportunity for new parents to meet our headteacher, EYFS leader and teaching staff. This will provide a great opportunity for you to ask questions and find out about our community and learning at Berkswich CE. Your child is a vital part of this process, and so we welcome them to join in with the meeting.

What a busy year ahead! Throughout the next three terms, we will work on increasing independence. As part of this, the children need to organise their own kit each day.
In the Spring term, PE will be on a Monday and Tuesday; however, it would be useful if PE kit could be left in lockers all week, in case any unforeseeable changes to PE times occur. If your child has long hair, they will need a bobble for PE.
Spelling books and reading books need to be taken home every day.
