Anfield play visit (K1)

LittleOsMummy

The play session is very casual, you don't have to try hard to impress the teachers at all. There was a mainlander family whose little girl was very shy and kept crying and needed comfort from her mum and grandmother the whole time, and the adults had completely no idea what the teachers were saying as they can't speak English themselves, guess what I saw them at the induction day in the end!
This year's PM pre K was new so perhaps that was why I thought it's pretty easy to get in with the extra spots available (we only applied in June this year as we wanted to pull out from the Whampao campus due to the long commute and got accepted right away to start in Sept).

Anyway, Anfield is a small school but I so far have enjoyed the benefits of small classes and how personal the principals get with the parents/students, as well as all the activities they organise. It is a good school!

Hmmm admittedly I'm not sure how my son has learnt enough mandarin from school yet, but then he is only in PreK so still young and he has only started school for less then 2 months. His Cantonese is fine though since people talk to him outside of school except me and his dad + family from dad's side

I actually think PM has worked out perfectly for us as I have to work and there is no way I could get ourselves ready early in the morning! The class is all very small in PM only 2 teachers with 12 kids! The kids settle in very quickly pretty much no one was crying within one week!

a teacher at the play visit told me anfield has connections with harrow, is that true?

I have never heard of that??

We love the school environment, the teachers and all sort of activities the school arranges so far. Have seen only positive changes in my son after attending school for 2 months!
I must say though I'm not happy with the school bus company as they are not cheap at all while the bus company contact person is very disorganised/bad with communication. That is however the operation of the bus company and the school is not responsible for their operations.

I don't think we should let that affect the school's reputation though. It is a very good school that provides a very nurturing environment to their kids at a such tender age. Kids in my son's class stopped crying pretty much within one week of starting school! I saw the teachers taking the crying kids out for a walk to calm them down so having small class size definitely helps give the kids the attention they need and so they settle at school quickly!

Is there any particular reason you want the AM class? PM is not bad the kids will get more attention in many ways?

I think that's because they have given priority to the pre K and first steps kids who want to change to AM, we are in PM pre K now and just got confirmation that we will go to K1 next Sep AM class.

You will be asked to attend a parents meeting in around June I think and they will give you an info pack with the bus application form.
