If your child was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022 you must apply for a Reception place in Primary School for September 2026, even if your child currently attends our Nursery.

At Solebay, we’re passionate about helping every child grow in confidence and independence.

That’s why we’re so proud to offer cooking and baking lessons as part of our additional life skills sessions. Our pupils absolutely love the sensory experience – from measuring and mixing to tasting their delicious creations. It’s a wonderful way to build practical skills, teamwork, and a real sense of achievement.

We’re so proud of their enthusiasm and can’t wait to see what they cook up next!

It is important for all our pupils to come to school every day and on time! Regular attendance and punctuality helps us learn well in school, make friends and have fun. When we miss school, it is easy to fall behind and miss out on exciting lessons and activities. Poor attendance can also affect our friendships, making it harder to join in class discussions and group projects.

This week’s unsung hero is Afrin Ahmed. Afrin has recently joined our Breakfast Club Team and has settled into her new role really well. Welcome to the Solebay team Afrin!

We understand sometimes children can feel unwell in the mornings, but we encourage you to send them to school if they have a minor cough or cold. See NHS guidelines for further details.

We are able to administer medication to your child if they are in school and require it. Please bring it to the school of office and a staff member will give you a consent form to complete.

We are now closed for the holidays! We hope you enjoy your break and we look forward to seeing you back at school on Tuesday 6th January.
