A visit to Hollycombe usually consists of an informal chat with the head teacher followed by a tour of the school and grounds. Any questions will be answered during the v... isit or you can contact us if you have any queries after your tour. Children coming to Hollycombe are invited to spend several sessions in their class so that they are familiar with the surroundings before they start school. There are sessions available (please contact the school for further information) and are an excellent way to make your child's transition to school a happy one. Each child will receive a home visit from Mrs Doyle and a Learning Support Assistant from the class. These visits last for half an hour and are an excellent way for the teacher to find out about your child so as to be able to meet their individual needs when they begin school.

The first takes place in the Summer term and is aimed to give an overview of life at Hollycombe and what you can expect a day in the life of your child to be when they begin school. It is also an opportunity to order uniform and raise any queries you may have.
