Dear Families,

 Congratulations on being offered a Reception place for September 2025! We are delighted to welcome you and your child to St Frideswide Primary School. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey, and we are honoured to be part of your child’s early years of learning and growth.

At St Frideswide, we are committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every child feels valued and supported. Our dedicated team is looking forward to working in partnership with you to ensure a smooth and joyful transition into school life.

In the coming weeks, we will be in touch with more information about our welcome events, home visits, and everything you need to prepare for a successful start in September.

We can’t wait to meet you and begin this journey together.
