Starting Reception in 2020 | Romsey Primary School

Starting Reception in September 2020

A very warm welcome to Romsey Primary School & Nursery.

Starting school in reception can be both an exciting and daunting time in a child's learning journey. For some families, this will be their first experience of starting school; others may have been through this before. In both cases we want to reassure you that despite the challenges that the pandemic have presented to schools, we are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that the transition into reception at RPS is as smooth as possible.

To get things underway, there are a number of links and resources to help you and your children get ready for the exciting journey ahead! If you have any questions, please email admin@romseyprimary.hants.sch.uk.
