A warm welcome to parents and carers of children who will be starting with us this September. We will use this page to share useful information regarding your child's transition into St Helen's, including introducing you and your child to our classrooms and staff.  Please return the acceptance letter to school as soon as possible to secure your child's place with us. During the summer term you and your child will be invited to attend sessions in school to meet your child's new teachers and classmates.
