New Reception Starters September 2025

Welcome to our 'New Reception Starters' page for parents and carers.  We hope that you find all of the information here to help your child have a happy and successful start at West Jesmond Primary School. Starting school is such an important time for each child and we will do all we can to help you and your child feel welcome, confident and excited about this new adventure. 
 
 
Throughout this time, we will communicate with you via this webpage and Weduc. We will also add to this page with stories from class teachers and more photos, so please keep checking in!
 
On this page, there is a short video showing a Day in Reception and lots of photographs. These may be useful to share with your child so they can begin to feel familiar with their new school. 
At any point through this process, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or the office and we will be happy to help. 
Miss Liz Thompson
