Welcome to Reception

Our EYFS offers a welcoming environment in which children are encouraged to reach their full potential within both their learning and social development. The EYFS covers seven areas of learning, which are promoted and developed through a mixture of continuous provision, in which the children are able to freely choose their learning, as well as more formal learning sessions, such as mathematics and phonics. Our focus is to develop pupil’s love of learning and to prepare them effectively for their school experiences, as well as to support them in their wider development.
