Warm and Supportive Environment
In our Reception class, your child will be welcomed into a warm and supportive environment designed to make their transition to school smooth and enjoyable. Our experienced teachers and staff members understand the importance of building strong relationships with each child and their family, fostering a sense of security and belonging from day one.
A Careful Balance of Play-Based Learning and Structured Learning
We believe that young children learn best through a combination of explicit teaching and play. Our curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and imagination through hands-on activities, exploration, and discovery. Whether it's building with blocks, painting masterpieces, or engaging in pretend play, your child will have ample opportunities to learn and develop key skills in a fun and interactive way.
Early Literacy and Numeracy
In our Reception class, we lay the foundation for future academic success by introducing early literacy and numeracy concepts in engaging and developmentally appropriate ways. Through storytelling, rhymes, counting games, and more, your child will begin to develop essential skills such as phonics, reading, number sense, and basic mathematical concepts.
Social and Emotional Development
We understand the importance of nurturing your child's social and emotional development alongside their academic growth. In our Reception class, children learn to express their feelings, communicate effectively with their peers, and develop important social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and working collaboratively.
Outdoor Learning
Our site offers a huge amount of space for children to learn and play in. Our outdoor learning environment is an extension of the classroom, providing opportunities for physical activity, exploration, and connection with nature. Whether it's digging in the sandpit, planting in the garden, or playing on the climbing frame, your child will have the chance to develop gross motor skills, build confidence, and learn about the world around them in a natural setting.
