Reception

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'.

Home learning

As we are in a situation where many children may have days at home, we would like to give you some guidance about what you can do to support your child's learning should you be in this situation. Obviously the health and wellbeing of everyone comes first and we are just trying to provide an option for those that feel they would like to maintain a bit of structure and routine to their days. In school, we will be doing a daily phonics session and a maths session so these would be good starting points. You will find a weekly overview below called 'home learning ideas' which is a summary of what we will be doing in school - though bare in mind things change as we follow children's interests. Please use this, only if your child needs to be absent from school over several days and in addition to the other great websites and resources listed on our class page. Phonics play is currently still available for free and you should also now have log ins for Purple Mash, Bug Club (reading) and Mathletics. These are all great resources to use so have fun exploring what's on offer!
