At Nanpean School, we understand that the choice of which school to send your child to is an extremely important decision. As a result, we have created the following images and information to help you decide if Nanpean School is right for you and your child. We are an extremely supportive and caring school and would love to welcome any new children to our school at any time. For further information, please contact Nanpean School on the numbers / e-mail addresses given in our Contact section.
The majority of Reception aged children who join Nanpean School come to us from Nanpean Nippers, our on site Preschool, and so the majority of our transition arrangements are made with Nanpean Nippers. Nanpean Nippers provide care for ages 2yrs and up and also provide wraparound care before and after school. If you are looking for a preschool or before/after school care provider for your child, you would need to contact Nanpean Nippers directly. Click here to go to their website for more information. Due to the importance of a smooth transition from preschool to reception for each child, each child is invited to attend our transition events once reception places are allocated, irrespective of which preschool your child attends or if they don't attend one at all.
