Dear Parents and Children, 

Welcome to Send Church of England Primary School! 

Whether your child will be joining us in Nursery, Reception or in another year group, I am  so pleased that you are joining our warm and welcoming school community. 

Our school is a special place where we truly care about each and every child. Our team works hard to make school a happy and engaging adventure, where everyone feels valued and supported. We believe in helping each child discover their own unique strengths and talents, nurturing their potential in everything they do. We're looking forward to partnering with you to give your child the very best start to their learning journey.  

We know that starting school is a significant step. If you have any concerns or questions about your child starting at Send CofE, please feel free to get in touch with us - we will be happy to help you. You can email the main school office on info@sendcofe.co.uk or use the key contacts list below to get in touch with specific staff. 

We also invite you to come along to our informal parent social coffee mornings. These are a lovely opportunity to meet other parents and members of our school community. Toddlers and preschoolers are most welcome! We've got coffee mornings coming up on Tuesday, 29th April and Tuesday, 20th May from 8.45am - 9.45am. No need to sign up in advance, just come along to the main office on the day.  

I look forward to meeting you and your child soon. 

With best wishes,

Mrs Marianne McDonnell 

Headteacher
