Dothill Primary School

New Reception Meeting for Parents/Carers 2026

Child and Parent Visits to School:

To support both you and your child with a positive and confident start to school, we would like to invite your child to two transition visits and you to a Parents’ Information Session, as outlined below:

  • Transition Visit – group 1. This is for all children whose surname begins with the letter A – K (e.g. Orla Adams or Joshua Jones)
    Tuesday 7th July, 9:30am – 11:30am
  • Transition Visit – group 2. This is for all children whose surname begins with the letter L – Z (e.g. Gemma Morris or Daniel Smith)
    Tuesday 7th July, 12:30pm – 2:30pm

The Parents’ Information sessions will be with the Headteacher and take place in our school ‘small hall’.  This will be at 9:45am for parents of Group 1 children, once children have been dropped off into the classroom, and 2:00pm for parents of Group 2 children, before the children are collected.

  • Second Transition Visit for all children
    Wednesday 8th July 9:30am – 11:30am


Upon arrival at school, please enter the site via the front pedestrian gate (on Severn Drive) on the left-hand side. This will be opened shortly before the start of the transition visits and we will accompany you to the classroom door.

You will collect your child from the classroom and staff will once again open the gates for you to enter and be able to assist with directions.
