Transition into EYFS (Nursery and Reception)
Parents wishing for their children to join Meadowbank Primary School are invited to visit school at one of our open day events during the Autumn Term. Details of these can be found on the school website.
Applications for primary school places need to be made through the Stockport Council website.
The deadline for applications is usually January of each year and you will be informed of place allocations on a National Offer Day in April. School cannot process applications made directly to them.
Once your child has been allocated a place at Meadowbank Primary School their transition from previous settings will be supported by our skilled and experienced EYFS team. For children already attending a pre-school or nursery, they will receive a visit from a member of school staff to introduce themselves, during the summer term. Parents will be sent welcome information and invited to attend a face to face welcome evening, where you will be able to meet the team and explore the EYFS environment. In September, as your child starts school, parents are invited to attend with your child and there will be some visits just for the children which are shorter than the usual school day. We aim to keep this element of the transition period as short as possible, however if we feel that individual children may need an adapted transition timetable, this will be discussed on an individual basis.
