Admissions and new starters

Any parents considering Street Lane Primary School as the school for their child are very welcome to contact the school. We welcome visits from new families throughout the year, at any  time as we have an open door approach. Please contact the school office for further information.

Early Years Foundation Stage

Our youngest children in school are the Ducklings. They spend most of their day engaged in learning through play using both our indoor and outdoor spaces. Our new children settle very quickly and have days filled with laughter and fun!
