Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Ellison Primary Academy.

We are delighted that you have chosen our school to support your child's next steps in their learning journey. We aim to make their transition to school as smooth and positive as possible.

During the current situation with COVID-19, we are sadly unable to invite you to meetings for new parents and it will not be possible to undertake nursery or home visits to meet you and your child; however, Mrs Adams and Mrs Martin have been in contact with your child's nursery setting to find out more about your child. This section of our website will give you a useful range of information about starting school; if you need a paper copy of any of these documents, please telephone the school office and we can post one out to you.

Mrs Adams and Mrs Martin will be contacting you as parents and carers to; introduce themselves as your child’s class teacher, welcome you to our Ellison family and answer any questions or concerns that you might have.

As soon as we know more about September, we will contact you, however in the meantime, you can telephone the school office with any queries on 01782 613674 or email us office@ellison.staffs.sch.uk

We look forward to welcoming you to Ellison Primary Academy very soon.

Kindest regards
