Welcome to Reception

Welcome to Reception 

We would like to extend a special welcome to our new children and their families! 

The Reception year is a very special part of your child’s school journey. We strive to provide a unique, challenging and inspirational curriculum based on new and memorable experiences. 

Establishing strong relationships with our pupils and their families is our priority at the beginning of the school year.  During the year we will work with your child to learn and understand their individual needs and support them in their learning and development. 

We believe that communication is integral to your child’s success. Class teachers are available both before and after school to receive messages and celebrate successes. 

Our teaching team includes Ms Harwood and Miss Kirkwood (Class Teachers) and Mrs Edwards and Miss Holmes (Teaching Assistants). 

Our Summer Term theme is ‘Growth’. Our new bookshelf contains a selection of high quality texts to inspire our curriculum: 

The Bog Baby byJeanne Willis and Gwen Millward 

You are Stardust by Elin Kelsey, Artwork by Soyeon Kim 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle 

We’re all Wonders by R.J. Palacio
