Starting in Reception
At Fairlop, we are always excited to welcome new children and families to our school. Each year we are joined by full-time and part-time pupils in our Pre-School, 90 children in Reception and a number of children who join us in other year groups.
We hope this page is of use to find out a little bit more about what your child will experience when they join our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in Reception. Please also read our Prospectus page to find out more and to complete the relevant admissions documentation.
