Reception is where more formal school work begins, preparing your child for lifelong learning. Class sizes are small (maximum of 20 pupils) to ensure that your child will receive personal attention from our dedicated and enthusiastic teaching and support staff, enabling your child to fulfil their potential.

Through a careful blend of traditional activities and independent investigation, your child will quickly cultivate a love of learning. Music and French lessons with our specialist teachers continue in Reception, as does Forest School, where your child will develop increased confidence in the natural environment. PE (Gymnastics, Games and Dance) is taught by specialist staff and our specialist teacher teaches Swimming weekly in our on-site pool. Our new offering is Drama led by our Faculty Head to help build their confidence on stage from an early age.

Studies show the achievements of many of our children exceed the Early Learning Goals at the end of Reception.
