Reception

    In Reception, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for your child based on the recommendations of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

    The curriculum supports your child in seven key areas of their development:

    • Communication and Language
    • Physical Development
    • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
    • Literacy
    • Mathematics
    • Understanding the World
    • Expressive Arts and Design

    The children follow a synthetic phonic scheme and Literacy activities lay the foundations for listening, talking, reading and writing.  Mathematical activities include calculating; identifying patterns and sequences; shape; sorting; information handling and problem solving.  The majority of the Reception curriculum is facilitated through play with a variety of resources. French is also introduced in Reception and continues throughout the School.
