Starting School
Thank you for choosing our school. We are very excited to start your child’s journey into school with you.
We know starting school is big change for children, and their grownups. At Eling we believe that starting school should be a smooth process and not a daunting event.
We have put together this page with some information, to reassure you and give you the information you need, alongside the information sent directly to you.
If you have any questions, please get in contact with us via the school office.
