School Open Evening

We are delighted to invite parents, carers and children to our Open Evening on Tuesday 3rd November at 6pm.

Come along and discover what life is really like at Stanwix School. You’ll have the opportunity to be shown around by our teachers and school staff, visit our classrooms and facilities, and find out more about our curriculum, our approach to starting school and what everyday school life is like at Stanwix.

Our Open Evening is a wonderful opportunity to see our school first-hand, meet our staff, ask questions and get a real feel for the welcoming and nurturing environment we provide for our children.

Everyone is welcome. We are proud of our warm, family-friendly atmosphere and would love the opportunity to show you what makes Stanwix such a special place to learn, grow and belong.

Book a school Tour

We understand that starting school is a big step for children and their families, whether your child is joining us from nursery or pre-school, or coming to us from home. We place great importance on making this transition as smooth, positive and reassuring as possible, helping every child to feel happy, confident and settled as they begin their journey with us.

Stay and Play Event

Join us at Stanwix Primary School for our next Stay & Play session on Friday 20th November at 10am to 11am.

Designed especially for families with pre-school-aged children, our relaxed and fun-filled sessions give little ones the opportunity to play, make new friends, explore their surroundings and become familiar with the school environment.

It’s also a wonderful chance to meet our friendly staff, ask questions and begin building positive relationships ahead of starting school.

We look forward to welcoming you and your little ones for a morning of fun, discovery and play!

Starting School for the First Time

Thank you for considering Stanwix School for your child's first school experience. We know that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are always delighted to welcome prospective families to learn more about our wonderful school community.

Rooted in our values of Joy, Belonging, Ambition and Kindness, Stanwix is a place where children are encouraged to thrive, build confidence and develop a lifelong love of learning. If your child is due to start Reception in September 2027, we would very much welcome you to visit us for a school tour, attend one of our Stay and Play sessions, and join us at our Open Evening which will be held on Tuesday 3rd November.

Our Stay and Play sessions also provide a fantastic opportunity for children to get to know one another, experience life in our school environment and begin to feel part of the Stanwix family. Our Open Evenings offer parents and children a lovely insight into Early Years at Stanwix, with stories, songs and opportunities to meet our staff and learn more about our curriculum and approach.

In-Year Admissions and Changing Schools

Thank you for your interest in Stanwix School! 

 We understand that changing schools can be a significant step for both children and families, and we are committed to making the transition as smooth and positive as possible.

For in-year admissions, we offer a supportive and personalised approach, including opportunities for children to visit the school, take part in trial days and begin building relationships with their new classmates and teachers before joining us.

 

Guided by our values of Joy, Belonging, Ambition and Kindness, we work hard to ensure that every child feels welcomed, valued and develops a genuine sense of belonging from their very first day.

Pupils are friendly and polite, and they provide a warm welcome to new pupils that join the school.
