Reception Class Induction Meeting
There was a great turnout for the Reception class meeting led by Mrs Graham and supported by other members of the staffing team and the Chair of Governors Julia Pring. There is so much information to share about St Mary's and it was a good opportunity to meet with new parents and those families who we already know. Caterlink provided a taster breakfast which was an opportunity to sample some of the delicious food provided by our kitchen staff. We look forward to welcoming all of our new families into the community of St Mary's. |
