About us

Welcome to our Reception class, where every child is encouraged to learn, grow and flourish in a warm, nurturing and faith-filled environment.

Our Reception classroom is a place where children are welcomed as unique and precious individuals, created in the image of God. We aim to make every child feel happy, safe and valued as they begin their journey through school.

Through a balance of play, exploration and purposeful learning, we provide children with exciting opportunities to develop their confidence, curiosity and independence. From making new friends and discovering the world around them to developing early reading, writing and mathematical skills, every day brings something new to explore.

We teach phonics and handwriting through the Little Wandle scheme. Children take part in daily phonics lessons, alongside guided reading sessions three times a week. We strongly encourage children to read regularly at home, as this plays an important role in developing their confidence, fluency and enjoyment of reading, and supports the best possible outcomes for your child.

We teach maths through the NCETM Mastering Number scheme. The children take part in whole class inputs, followed by support in continuous provision with the concepts and ideas that we are focusing on.

Essential Class Routines

Reading books- F2 will go home with their reading packs on a Friday, to be returned on a Monday. Their packs will include a reading diary and a phonics guidance document. Children are encouraged to read as much as possible at home, they are also welcome to bring in their favourite stories from home to be shared as a class.

PE- PE is taught every Wednesday morning, and children should come to school dressed in their PE kit on this day. Please make sure PE kit is clearly labelled.

Water and Snacks- Children should bring in a water bottle that is clearly labelled. We provide fruit for snack so we prefer children to not bring in their own due to allergies.

Weather Appropriate Clothing

Due to our outdoor learning, please bring children in with weather appropriate clothing. We will be encouraging the children to learn outdoors whenever possible. Please make sure these items of clothing are clearly labelled;
