Reception class have all settled brilliantly and have had a great first few weeks of school life. 

The gentle start to the curriculum has meant they have had lots of time to get to know school routines, explore their environment and build friendships, as well as sharing songs and stories together. 

There has been lots of time for creative and play activities, alongside plenty of opportunities to get outside, both in the playground and in our Forest School. 

Short daily sessions in Maths and Literacy, with an emphasis on Phonics, help ease the children into more formal learning, and the children have all been excited to begin taking home reading books.

They have been getting to know some of the other specialist teachers who come to take them for lessons, including Music, French, Swimming and PE, as well as the rest of the team that helps to take care of them and create an environment in which they feel safe and secure and are able to flourish.

We already have a number of families registered to join us for Reception September 2021, or attending our award winning Nursery, which is the easiest step up to Reception.
