New Reception Parents’ Information Evening

A meeting for parents and carers of children starting school in September 2023.

During this meeting, we will share key information with you about your child’s transition to Reception at St. Mary’s. This meeting will take place in person, in our School Hall.

You need to apply NOW if you want to use 30 hour childcare for nursery or Tax-Free Childcare to pay for Before & After School Club in September

Watch the video below to find out how to get set up and the documents you’ll need to make your claim.

Nursery only: Once you have a 30 hour code you need to reconfirm your eligibility through your account every three months by logging into your secure account. In order to use your code this September you will need a validity start date on or before 31st August. (Find out more: https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/children-families/help-childcare-costs/2)

Before & After School Club: Parents can use one of several Government schemes to pay for our wraparound care. Help with childcare costs for parents is available for working families (including the self-employed), who earn under £100k and at least £142 per week through the tax-free childcare scheme. Help is also available for those on Tax Credits or Universal Credit. Please visit the Childcare Choices website to find out more:
