Reception Classes
Welcome to the Reception Class pages!
Children in EYFS follow the Foundation Stage curriculum which allows them to experiment, investigate and make sense of the world around them through play.
They will have access to many exciting first-hand experiences, both self-initiated and adult-led, to enable the children to develop knowledge, understanding and key skills in all areas of learning which provide a sound basis for later education.
We have 3 Reception classes:
- The Sparrows are being taught by Mrs Whitehead and Mr Moore, assisted by Miss Bowler
- The Turtledoves are being taught by Miss Neal, assisted by Miss Caddy
- The Greenfinches are being taught by Miss Lilley, assisted by Mrs James, Mr Rafferty, Mrs Harrison and Miss Edwards
