What our Reception year includes:
- Playful Learning Adventures: In Reception, we believe in the power of play as a tool for exploration and discovery. Our curriculum is carefully crafted to engage young minds through a variety of hands-on activities, fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
- Nurturing Environment: Our experienced and caring educators create a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and ready to take their first steps into formal education. We understand that every child is unique, and we celebrate and support their individual strengths and interests.
- Building Fundamental Skills: The Reception year focuses on building essential skills in literacy, numeracy, and social development. Through interactive lessons and creative play, we lay the foundations for future academic success while promoting a strong sense of community and friendship.
- Active Learning: Our classrooms are dynamic spaces where children actively engage with the world around them. From interactive reading corners to outdoor exploration, we encourage curiosity and imagination, helping children develop a natural enthusiasm for learning.
- Parental Involvement: We believe in the importance of a strong partnership between school and home. Parents are encouraged to actively participate in their child's educational journey, whether through homework, regular updates on ClassDojo, Parent’s Evenings and special events.
