Welcome to Crown Street Pre-School
We understand that starting Pre-School or moving setting is a significant moment for any child. We will do everything we can to ensure your child settles in smoothly to Crown Street Pre-School.
We take our responsibility for your child’s personal and academic development seriously. We value strong home-school links and the positive difference they can make to a child’s happiness and success.
Before starting with us, we will be holding an induction event in the Summer term for our parents and carers ahead of your child starting Pre-School in September.
Until then, we hope you find the information provided on our website useful and encourage you to look across our Instagram and Facebook accounts, to begin to get flavour of life at Crown Street Primary School.
– Mrs Thompson, Head of School
