Dear Parents and Carers,

We are delighted that you are considering Copnor Primary School for your child to join our school in September 2026. Starting school can be an anxious time for everyone and we would like to make the start as easy as possible. We carefully plan the induction programme for our new EYFS children to reflect current best practice and to ensure the whole process is as smooth as possible for every family.

We are keen to reflect the needs of each child and family within an effective induction programme. Our priority is to plan opportunities to establish the strong relationships between home and school that are so important within primary education, through getting to know each child as an individual. In order to support you with your decision-making process we are running a series of open sessions for you to come in and hear what we as a school offer.

The sessions involve an introduction to the School Team and presentation followed by a tour of our lovely school. These sessions last about an hour and you are welcome to bring your child.

To book a place on any of the above open sessions, please use the link below:
