Our Curriculum

In Reception, we closely follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, which supports children's learning and development across all areas of the curriculum.

We carefully plan learning opportunities around children's interests and individual needs, helping to make learning exciting, engaging and meaningful.

Recent topics have included:

🐝 Animals

🐝 Traditional stories

🐝 Clothes

🐝 Many other exciting themes and experiences

Children learn through a balance of adult-led activities and child-initiated play. We make full use of our carefully planned indoor learning environment as well as our beautiful outdoor spaces to support active, hands-on learning experiences.

Children enjoy opportunities to:

🐝 Explore and investigate

🐝 Create and imagine

🐝 Build friendships and work together

🐝 Develop confidence and independence

🐝 Learn through play

We use Little Wandle to teach phonics and support children in becoming confident readers and writers.

Throughout the year, we place a strong emphasis on developing early reading, writing and mathematical skills through engaging, practical learning experiences.

Working in Partnership with Families

We believe that children achieve their best when home and school work together.

Our door is always open and we welcome opportunities to talk about your child's learning, development and wellbeing.

You can contact us through:

We look forward to sharing your child's Reception journey and celebrating their achievements along the way.
