Reception September 2026 

Welcome Message to New Parents

We are delighted to welcome you to South Lake. 

A few things you may find helpful at this stage:

• School website: You can explore our values, curriculum, and day-to-day life to get a feel for what your child will experience.
• Uniform information: Many parents like to get ahead with uniform; details are available on our website.
• Key dates: Once we receive your information from Wokingham, we will share induction dates, welcome events, and opportunities to meet the team.
• Questions: If you have any general queries before we contact you formally, please feel free to reach out to the school office.

We are excited to welcome your child and your family into our school.

Thank you for choosing to become part of our community.
