Reception
Welcome to Reception! In Reception, children build upon their learning from Nursery continuing to focus on the three Prime areas of learning: Communication and Language; Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. Children develop curiosity and enthusiasm when exploring and learning. Children's learning is further enhanced and scaffolded across the four specific areas of learning: Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding the World and Expressive Arts & Design.
Our Reception is split into two classes; Reception A (polite pandas) and Reception B (marvellous monkeys).
