Welcome to Reception
Pupils in the Reception class follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.
Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development. These are:
Prime Areas
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
These prime areas are those most essential for your child's healthy development and future learning. As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop in 4 specific areas.
Specific Areas
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoor and outside.
In Reception we use the White Rose Maths small steps mastery based learning approach. Pupils are introduced to maths concepts through whole class teaching, before moving on to teacher-led and pupil-led tasks within our indoor and outdoor provision.
