Starting School at Barkisland
Starting school is one of the most important milestones in a child's life. It is a very exciting time both for the child and the family but may also provoke lots of questions too!
If your child is due to start school, appointments can be made through the school office to meet with the Headteacher and have a tour of our school. These appointments can be made from October to December the year before your child is due to begin school.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions we haven't answered here.
