Reception Curriculum

We are housed in a separate building, enjoying bright and stimulating classrooms surrounded by the school playing fields.

During Reception, we follow the foundation stage curriculum, working towards the Early Learning Goals.  A carefully balanced timetable ensures that key skills are introduced whilst the environment is designed to foster independent learning.  Children are free to explore new ideas and develop skills according to their own interests and motivations.

Throughout the year, the children become familiar with school routines and appropriate learning behaviour.  This prepares them for a successful transition into Year One.

We will be sharing the children’s fantastic work on Instagram and Class Dojo, please keep an eye out for regular updates.
