Welcome to Reception

Welcome to Reception the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) where your child’s exciting school journey begins. We are delighted to welcome you to our friendly, nurturing and engaging learning environment, where every child is encouraged to develop confidence, independence and a love of learning. Through a balance of purposeful play, exploration and carefully planned teaching, we support children to build strong foundations for future success while fostering curiosity, creativity and positive relationships. We look forward to working in partnership with families to ensure every child feels happy, valued and inspired throughout their first year at school.

We would like all children to read aloud at least 5 times a week.
