I would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome you and your family to Mapperley Plains Primary School. Our EYFS team are very excited to meet you and your child in the forthcoming weeks. We are keen to get to know you all and to welcome you into our school community. In the second half of the Summer Term, we have organised a range of transition events to support your child to become familiar with their new school. By the end of this half term, you will receive an information pack from school providing some details about us and requesting some information from you. Please return this to us by Friday 30th June. Please also complete the form below by clicking on the link by Friday 5th May. This will help us to gain information about your child and their current preschool or nursery setting.
