How the tours will work this year
Due to our COVID19 safety measures the tour format will be different than in previous years.
The open days advertised above will be on zoom and will be led by members of our school leadership team. They will provide a virtual tour of our school to help you see the school in action and enable you to learn about how we nurture and value each individual child. There will also be the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. When you book a place with the school office they will provide you with the zoom meeting log on details.
Parents and carers will be offered the opportunity to tour our school in person, but due to COVID19 measures this needs to be carried outside of the school day in order to protect out bubbles. Only one family at a time can join the tour (all family members must live in the same household) and we kindly ask that people wear a face covering for the duration for the tour, which will be socially distanced throughout.
How to book a place on a tour
Should you wish to join a tour of our school please call the school office on 01273 770777 between 08:00-15:30.
Alternatively if you are calling outside of office hours please either leave a voice message or email us on admin@wblatch.brighton-hove.sch.uk. Please tell us your name, your child's name and age, the date of the tour you wish to attend and provide a contact telephone number and email address. The school office will then contact you to confirm your place and provide the necessary meeting details.

We're extremely happy with our daughter's progress in nursery. We love hearing her sing the songs she's learnt at school. Most importantly, she's clearly having fun whilst learning!
