NEW STARTERS (Foundation Stage)

During the Autumn Term, we offer three opportunities for a tour of the school for parents of children who are looking at starting their first year (EYFS).  This is so that parents are able to see the school prior to applications for new starters closing early January.  The daytime visits are preferable as you will be able to see the school when children are in and this gives a better feel for the school.  There is one evening slot for those that are unable to visit during the daytime,   The dates for this term are as follows:

TOUR 1: Wednesday 23rd November at 9:30am
TOUR 2: Wednesday 23rd November at 6:00pm
TOUR 3: Wednesday 7th December at 9:30am

During this tour, you will have the opportunity to meet the Head Teacher and some of the other staff, as well as seeing in classrooms and learning a bit more about the ethos and values of the school.  Tours during the school day enable you to get a feel for the school whilst it is in operation, but entering classrooms is slightly restricted at those times.  If you join an after school tour, you will be able to go into classrooms as the children will not be in them.  It is purely personal choice.

To book onto any of the tours above, please contact the school office on 01455 822379, or email office@desford.leics.sch.uk

MID-TERM STARTERS

Where families are moving to the area mid-year, or joining the school from year 1 upwards, we may be able to accommodate a visit at a separate time to those listed above.  We will always do our best to accommodate a school visit at a time that is suitable to you.
