Starting Reception

A warm welcome from Mrs Curry, Headteacher

Welcome to Windy Arbor. Starting Reception is such an exciting time, and we feel privileged to be part of this important stage in your child’s learning journey.

At Windy Arbor, our motto is Dream, Believe, Achieve. We want every child to have high hopes for themselves, to grow in confidence and to achieve their full potential. We believe every child can shine when they have the right support, encouragement, and opportunities.

We understand this new beginning can feel both exciting and a little daunting. We’re here to support you and your child every step of the way, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our family-school community.
