Welcome to Reception

We look forward to getting to know your child and helping them to enjoy their first year at school. Miss O'Connor is the Reception class teacher supported by Mrs Stoner, Miss Beresford and Miss Pymar. 

We follow a wide and varied Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which builds upon and develops each child’s knowledge and skills. Our curriculum is play-based and children will learn through a range of child-led and adult-led activities in both our indoor and outdoor spaces. The EYFS has seven areas of learning and development. Three areas are particularly important for building a foundation for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving.

These are the prime areas:

• communication and language
• physical development
• personal, social and emotional development

The four specific areas, through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied.  The specific areas are:

• literacy
• mathematics
• understanding the world
• expressive arts and design

Communication
