We want to wish you all a very warm welcome to Alver Valley Schools
Choosing the right school for your child is a really important decision. In the Autumn term we offer prospective families the opportunity to visit our school with their children to meet the team and see the environment. These bookable open sessions will enable you to see first-hand what we at Alver Valley Schools can offer your child as they embark on their school learning journey. You will have plenty of time and space to explore and meet our team. In addition, we are also able to offer individual tours by appointment.
Applications for places in Year R at Alver Valley Schools in September 2025 can be made from the beginning of November 2024, and must be made by 15th January 2025. Any applications after this date are classed as late applications and are processed by Hampshire when on-time applications have been allocated. Online applications can be made here. Do contact our school office – by email or 023 9258 1777 – if you need any help with making an application.
In addition to our open sessions we have made a short video which provides more information about joining Alver Valley Schools in Year R, which you can watch here.
Please be assured that we have a robust transition in place, so children will have plenty of opportunities to get to know our school before they start.
To find out more about our current transition arrangements you can visit the New Entrants page on the school website where you will find further information regarding our approach, to curriculum, photos of the Year R environment, the induction program that was in place for this year, and our Starting School information video for parents. You can also read about our curriculum approach in our ‘hooks into books‘ article in the Spotlight on Alver Valley section of the website.
In addition, please do follow us on social media for regular photos and information updates on the whole school: Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
