All new parents will be issued with a Vigo Primary School New Starter Pack. This contains a school registration form (including information about legal document requirements), and lots of valuable information about our wonderful school.
Please take a few minutes to browse our website to help familiarise yourself with the school. For ease of information, please find links below to some useful documents for new parents.
