Welcome to Paulton Infant School

Thank you for choosing Paulton Infant School as the educational setting for your child to join in September. We are looking  forward to welcoming them, and you, into our community. Please direct all enquiries to the general school email address at office@paulton-inf.bathnes.sch.uk.

Over the coming months we will be adding information to this page to help you and your child get to know the school and understand the transition process. We will also provide you with details on opportunities to visit us. Please explore other pages of this website to help get a feel for the school too.

Transition into Reception

Transition details for the summer term will be published at a later date.

Induction into Reception in September

It is very important to us that our children experience as smooth a transition into school as possible. We want to ensure we have time to get to know the children and they get to know us. Also, as we have such a large number of children all joining Reception at the same time, it is imperative we establish routines and expectations in a calm and measured manner.  For these reasons, we offer a staggered start to the year in September. Children will attend for parts of the day and build up to full days. We usually expect children to begin attending full time in their fourth week of school. Full details to be published at a later date.
