Year R - September 2026 

Welcome to St John the Baptist Primary School 

A New Beginning at St John’s

You’ve found out your school place,

What an exciting day -

A brand‑new adventure’s waiting

Just a little while away.

September’s getting closer,

There’s lots for you to do,

New shoes, new books, new stories,

And new friends waiting too.

We’re busy getting ready,

Preparing all we can,

And everyone at St John’s

Is your biggest, happiest fan.

We can’t wait to meet you,

To see you learn and grow - 

We’ll email you very soon

With all you need to know.

A smooth and joyful journey,

That’s what we’ll help you through,

And in September’s sunshine,

We’ll be right here welcoming you.
