Reception
'In the early years, children enjoy exploring the well-designed learning activities. In lessons, pupils work hard to reach the school’s high expectations. Pupils show determination and do not give up easily when facing tricky areas of learning. Overall, pupils achieve the curriculum goals.'
OFSTED 2024
In Reception, we teach the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. This is broken down in to 3 Prime and 4 Specific areas of learning. Throughout the year we focus on developing skills in the prime areas which leads to children developing life-long skills that can be applied across a wide range of contexts. We then focus in on the specific areas, building on skills learnt from the prime areas to develop more subject specific knowledge and understanding.

'In the early years, children share and take turns well. During class discussions, pupils listen attentively. In the lunch hall, pupils eat politely and tidy up after themselves. They have fun together during playtime.'
