Welcome to Reception!

We are looking forward to supporting your child through their first year at school. Within our Reception class we have a balance of children learning through play and then more formal lessons towards the end of the reception year, so they are ready for the Year 1 curriculum.

EYFS Curriculum

We deliver our curriculum through the 7 areas of learning;

Prime areas

Expressive arts and design.

Communication and language;

Physical development;

Personal, social and emotional development;

Specific areas

Literacy;

We implement these areas through the children’s interests. Through sharing what they want to learn we will plan topics and lessons around them, allowing the children to take ownership of their learning.
