A very warm welcome to Reception, the beginning of your child’s exciting journey through primary school! This is a special year when children take their first steps into full-time education, and we’re here to make sure it’s a happy, nurturing, and inspiring experience for every child.

In Reception, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, which focusses on learning through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. Our classroom is a vibrant, welcoming space where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to be curious and creative.

Your child will develop key skills across seven areas of learning, including communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, maths, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Every day is filled with opportunities to explore, discover, and grow, both indoors and outdoors.

We place great importance on building strong relationships with families. You are your child’s first and most important teacher, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year. This page will keep you updated with what we’re learning, key events, and how you can support your child at home.

We’re so excited to begin this journey with you, let’s make it a joyful and memorable start to school life!
