Reception 2025 - I've been offered a place... what next?

Below is a timeline of what will happen following your child being offered a place at St Bon's:  
 
ASAP
  • Inform the Council if you would like to accept your child's place at St Bonaventure's.  They will notify us.

END OF MAY 2025
We send out our 'Essential Pupil Information Form' for you to complete and return so that we can find out a bit more about your child and where they attend pre-school.  Please return this to us as soon as possible either direct to the school office or via scanned copy by email to admissions.stbonaventures@bristol-schools.uk.
 
 
WEDNESDAY 18th JUNE 2025
The Parents' Information evening will take place in the school hall at 6pm. The aim of this meeting is for you to:
  • Meet the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, Class teachers and LSAs who will be working with your child
  • Find out which class your child will be in
  • Find out more about how we have planned the first few weeks of your child's transition into St Bon's and what a typical day in Reception looks like
  • Find out more about our wraparound childcare and meet the After School Club leader
  • View school uniform and find out how to buy it
Teachers will hand out packs of information and forms which need to be returned to us by the 6th July.
 
WEDNESDAY 3rd JULY 2025
Stay and Play sessions. You will have received an invitation to attend a morning stay and play sessions. These will take place in the classroom/reception outsdie play area, they are aimed at providing parents and children with the opportunity to get to know the school environment a bit better. 
 
BREAKFAST CLUB AND AFTERSCHOOL CLUB
All the information about before and after school childcare facilities will be provided in your new starter pack or you can have a look at the Kidzone section of the school website. We will be in touch once the bookings for September are open.  Bookings are made through the School Gateway app, instructions about which will also be in your starter pack.
 
BY 6th JULY 2025
We ask that ALL paperwork is returned to us by the end of the first week of July so that we can get prepared ahead of September.  Please note that if your child has a diagnosed food allergy, then you will need to contact the office for a Food Allergy and Intolerance Form which you eed to complete and return directly to the catering company (Chartwells). 
We would also like to encourage parents to complete the Pupil Premium Checker Form if you believe you may be eligible for pupil premium funding. Eligibility criteria are included in the information form which will be in your pack. 
 
JULY 2025
Class teachers will liaise with pre-schools to arrange transfer information to be passed to us to help with your child's transition (parents do not need to have any involvement in this process).  

SEPTEMBER 2025
We will conduct home visits during the first week of term, these allow us to meet the children in their familar environment and get to know you as a family better before they start school.
