A huge welcome to the new EYFS starters 2021-2022
Hello,
We are so pleased to hear that you have chosen our school and that your child will be joining us from August this year. We know that this is a very exciting time for children and parents alike and we very much look forward to meeting you all.
Next year the class teachers will be Miss Katie Stansfield (4 days) and Mrs Laura Meredith (1 day). Both Miss Stansfield and Mrs Meredith are very experienced EYFS teachers and are skilled in ensuring an exellent transition into school. As I’m sure you are aware transition may have to be a little different this year, but we will not let that stop us from ensuring your child makes the perfect start to their time with us at Gaddesby.
To assist with your child transitioning into our school, this section of the website will contain lots of tools that you can share with your child, to allow them to become more familiar with our teachers and our school.
We have also attached lots of lovely ideas and activities that have been published by our Multi Academy Trust. These documents also give guidance on how you can support your child, in the home learning environment, to help with school readiness.
If you do have any questions, please feel free to make contact using the email address

Take care and stay safe
