Induction into School
To ensure the best quality provision for 4 year olds, we encourage all pupils to start in the September of the academic year in which they become 5. Prospective pupils and parents/carers will be invited to visit the school on a number of occasions in the term before they start. Pupils will then have the opportunity to begin full time at the start of the academic year in September. We want to ensure that the start to school is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Children may attend part-time for a period of time, if this is deemed to be in their best interests. A consultation may be arranged with the class teacher should a reduced timetable be of benefit to an individual child.
Please note: Parents do not have to send their children to start school in the September after their 4th birthday. Children do not legally have to be in education until the term after their 5th birthday. However, at Bewdley Primary we provide the opportunity for all children to start at the same time.
