Joining Greenfields
Year 3 Admissions
All Year 2 pupils moving from Oakwood or another infant school will need to apply for a place at Greenfields Junior School through Hampshire School Admissions by the date given.
Open Mornings
At Green Oaks, we offer you the opportunity to attend our Open Morning at Greenfields in the Autumn Term. This has now passed for parents of children starting Year 3 in September 2024.
If your child is due to start Year 3 in September 2024 and you would like to visit Greenfields for a tour, please call the school office on 01252 843822 or email admin@greenfields-jun.hants.sch.uk to arrange.
Transition to Greenfields
At Greenfields we know how important it is for your child to feel safe, happy and secure when they make the transition from infants to juniors.
We, therefore, work hard to build early relationships and start to get to know your child as soon as possible. As part of the Green Oaks Federation, our Oakwood children will have had the opportunity to visit Greenfields for shared events and will already be familiar with the school. Once you have accepted a place at Greenfields your child will be invited into school in the summer term to take part in our full transition programme.
This includes:
| Date | Session | Information |
| w/c 12th June 2023 | Welcome! | The transition conversation starts! Mr May presents a Welcome to Greenfields short assembly to each Year 2 class with the help of some Year 3's. |
| 13th - 24th June 2023 | Getting to know you | During these two weeks, our Year 3 teachers for next year will be visiting our Year 2 classes to start to get to know all of the Year 2 children. They still won't know who their teacher is until the 28th June. |
| 28th & 29th June 2023 9.30 - 11.30 am | First Steps! | Children spend two mornings with their new class teacher. Children will also begin new books which they will take through to their new class in September. |
|
3rd July 2023 3.30 - 4.00 pm |
Take a Tour | After the First Steps! Transition event, parents are invited to pop along to Greenfields after school with their child to be shown around the classroom and say 'Hello' to the class teacher. |
| w/c 3rd July 2023 | Show Time! | Year 2's are invited to watch the Year 6 production (dress rehearsal). |
| w/c 18th September 2023 | Meet the Teacher & Coffee Morning | Meet the Teacher briefings provide informal opportunities for you and your child to visit their classroom, introduce yourself, hear from their class teacher about the year ahead and pass on any important information. There will also be a chance to meet the Leadership Team and find out more about the plans for the school. |
We also have an additional transition programme for any of our children who we know may find the move from Oakwood to Greenfields challenging. These visits take place in small groups and are supported by our Green Oaks Inclusion team.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Greenfields and hope that you and your family form a long and happy association with us.
Applying for a school place in-year
This is when a child needs a school place outside of the usual transfer times, for example because of a house move or a change of school.
All in-year admissions will need to be made through a formal application through Hampshire School Admissions.
If you are interested in joining Greenfields in-year you are welcome to contact us to make an appointment to come and look around. We offer children who are joining us the opportunity to visit their new class before starting full time. This gives you and your child the chance to meet the class teacher and start to make new friends before starting at Greenfields.
We look forward to welcoming you to Greenfields and the Green Oaks Federation soon.
