Welcome to Reception
We have two classes in Reception with lots of busy little learners! In Blueberry class our teacher is Miss Gilbert and in Strawberry class our teachers are Mrs Sharp and Miss Taylor. Please take a look at what we’ve been up to in school!
Prospective parents, please see our Transition into Reception page for more information.
Our Curriculum
In Reception, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile. We are a play-based curriculum which means we use our well-equipped environment to spark children’s curiosity and encourage their learning. We use the Early Years Foundation Stage document, alongside the needs, interests and abilities of the children, to carefully plan an environment which stimulates learning. We also include short, carefully planned sessions to spark the inquisitive mind. Please take a look at our Reception Curriculum Overview 2020-2021 to see our exciting and challenging topics and fabulous learning throughout the year.
As parents and carers are children’s first educators, we strive to hold positive relationships with them to ensure children learn as much as possible and reach their full potential during their time with us. We hold regular stay and play sessions where parents can come and see how their children learn. We also have an open door policy both before and after school where parents can talk to us.
