Reception

Welcome to Reception!

Thanks for visiting our reception pages. Reception currently has two classes: Hazel Class and Cherry Class.

Welcome to our Reception classes Cherry and Hazel.

Our weekly and daily plan is heavily influenced by the lines of enquiry that the children are interested in pursuing, alongside the continuous assessment by staff, ensuring that every child is gaining the experience and skills that they need to ensure successful outcomes at the end of the Foundation Stage.

8.40am - Welcome, registration, weather report, wake & shake
