Love of Learning... Encouraging... Adaptable... Determination

Reception 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Reception!

Pupils begin their life-long learning journey in a happy, safe and secure learning environment where they can flourish and achieve their true potential.  Learning in Early Years, adopts a highly successful play-based approach within the classroom and in our outdoor learning spaces. Through play, children are encouraged to explore, negotiate, take risks and develop their language skills and relationships with others- skills which are essential to their development.

Our Early Years team are highly adept at bringing learning to life and developing a sense of curiosity, awe and wonder to inspire and motivate our pupils to achieve their very best physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. We place great value on establishing a genuine partnership between home and school. Shared goals, encouragement and support from both home and school lay a firm foundation for our pupils’ learning and well-being.
