Meet your Reception friends - calling children and parents starting Reception in September 2026!

If your little one is starting school this September in Ponteland or the surrounding villages, this is a wonderful chance for them - and for you - to meet the children and families who’ll be joining the same Reception class. Schools include Belsay, Darras Hall, Heddon, Ponteland Primary, Richard Coates, Ponteland Community and Stamfordham.

Join Joanne for a lovely Summer Social — a relaxed, play‑based session designed to help children feel confident, familiar and excited about starting school. Through stories, imaginative play and shared experiences, little ones can begin forming early friendships in a calm, welcoming space.

It’s a gentle, joyful way to ease those first‑day nerves and build a sense of belonging before September arrives.

Contact Joanne to register your interest and book your place!
