Welcome to Reception!

In Reception we believe in providing a safe and stimulating environment where all children can flourish.  We understand that each child is unique and that children learn best when playing and learning are combined. We know that the most successful learners are happy, engaged, confident, curious, and resilient.  We aim to help them become independent learners, good communicators and risk takers as well as develop their creativity and empathy.  We provide a purposeful, nurturing environment which reflects our core values and the interests of our children. It allows children to develop skills for now and success in the future and offers challenges so that children are able to achieve their full potential.

If you haven't already done so, have a look at our curriculum map below for more detail on what your child will be learning during their time in Reception.  This can be found under 'Useful Documents'.
