ATW Reception News – Police visit
Today, Reception had a visit from the Sanderstead Safer Neighbourhoods division of the Metropolitan Police Force.
For those parents who will be applying for a reception place for their child for September 2026 we have arranged a series of visits so that they can look around the schools with senior staff.
If you wish to view a school please see here for the available dates. Obviously we have to limit numbers so only parents/carers who have booked will be able to attend.
