Headteacher’s Welcome to Team Mango

We’d love you to visit our school to get a real flavour for what we are all about on Team Mango. Until you are able to come and see us in person, please take a look at our virtual 360 tour and our virtual 360 external tour

What is it like to be a family on Team Mango?

We know that choosing a school for your child is an enormous decision. We have asked for some of our current families to share the best things about our school to give a little insight into what it is like to be a member of our team. Please take a look at the case studies below.

Admission Arrangements

Applications for admission into our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) are welcomed from parents of children who turn 5 years of age between 1st September and 31st August within the school year that you are applying for and will be allocated in line with our admissions criteria.

Applications for ‘in-year’ admissions are also welcomed and places will be offered according to our admissions criteria.

Applications for admissions to our school are made through South Gloucestershire Council. Details of the admissions process and a link to the application portal can be found on the South Gloucestershire website.

Induction into EYFS

As learners enter EYFS, our aim is to ensure that the induction process meets the needs of both the parents/carers and of the learner. We are aware that this is the first part of a seven year journey together and we do all that we can to make the process as smooth as possible. In the summer term, we hold Induction Evenings for parents and provide opportunities for your little ones to come to school for ‘stay and play’ sessions.

In September, we have a staggered entry. The children begin by completing half days (either afternoons or mornings) and then extend to half days plus dinner times before attending full time.

Induction following In-Year Admissions

We often have children starting school post-EYFS. Any family who arrives midway through their primary schooling is made to feel very welcome. We work hard with families to ensure learners are settled into our school including involving previous settings in information sharing to ease the transition.
