Staffing

For information about the staffing in each EYFS class, please visit the staff page. Miss Parker is our EYFS leader.

Key Person

Every child in our school chooses a key person, an adult they can talk to about anything; if they are proud of something or feeling worried for example. These are displayed in every classroom. Please speak to your child's class teacher if you are unsure who your child's key person is. 

SEND and Disabilities

For more information about how we support children with special educational needs and disabilities please visit the SEND page of our website.

Food and drink

We ask children to bring a named water bottle into school every day; they have access to this throughout the day. All children are offered a healthy snack at 10.15am daily. All children have access to Universal infant free school meals. Free milk is also available for under 5's. For more information about school lunches and the school milk scheme please visit the 'snacks & meals' page of our website.

Tapestry

We use Tapestry, an online learning journal, to document your child's learning and time with us. You will also be able to share learning from home.

For any other information please contact us by email office@bottesfordinfants.co.uk or call us on 01724862483.

The Starting School campaign offers a toolkit of practical advice, support and resources for parents, guardians and children across a wide range of areas including school life, daily routine, sleep and how to support children practically and emotionally. Starting School also provides video and articles for parents featuring information from experts and been-there-done-that tips from other parents.
