My name is Pete Wilkes and I am the Headteacher of The Lanes Primary School.   I am very proud to lead this fabulous school and I am really excited to welcome you and your child to The Lanes family.  Starting school for the first time is such an important milestone for you and your child and the whole team believe this should be a time of great excitement and opportunity.

Every member of staff is dedicated to ensure that your child can flourish and the Early Years team are a group of passionate and experienced staff who will ensure your child’s educational journey gets off to a great start.  The staff work hard during the summer term to visit any pre-school settings so we can get to know your child.  We have a range of events for you to attend so you can find out more about the school and ask any questions.  When it comes to September, we have a fabulous transition programme to get the children settled and reassure you that the start of their education is a positive and exciting experience.

We look forward to meeting you and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school via office@thelanes.notts.sch.uk
