If your child has been allocated a place in Year R - welcome to Padnell!   We would like to invite you to attend the school to bring your documents in and complete the initial paperwork required on either Tuesday 28th or Wednesday 29th April (see the 'Dates to Remember' below for the session times).  There's no need to book a time, just come along at a time that suits you.

We will have all the documents ready for you to complete at these sessions.  However, if you would like to have a look in advance at what information will be required, please see the attachments below.
