Our Curriculum
In Reception we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) a curricululum which sets out the standards which all Early Years settings must provide. Learning is split into....
3 prime areas:Personal, Social and Emotional Development Communication and Language Physical Development |
4 specific areas: Literacy Maths Understanding of the World Expressive Arts and Design |
EQUIPMENT YOUR CHILD WILL NEED FOR SCHOOL
Please send in the following items everyday to make sure your child is ready for their school day.......
Remember your book bag every day.
Please do not put drinks bottles into bookbags as they leak onto our books and create water damage. |
Send your child with a water bottle daily, clearly labelled with their name. We encourage healthy behaviours in school, this means sending your child with water in their bottle. Please do not send energy drinks or similar, they are not appropriate for school and an alternative of water will be offered instead. |
Spare clothes can be sent in a bag, clearly labelled with your child's name.

Never underestimate the benefit of reading regularly. It is the one best thing you can choose to do with your child daily in order to help them navigate the world ahead. Reading is foundational to everything we do - including understanding maths questions, reading signs, instructions and even writing cards and letters to loved ones.
SAVE MONEY - BORROW BOOKS FROM THE LOCAL LIBRARY Located opposite the school gates!! |
WOODLANDS
Often on Thursday afternoons, the children get the chance to go into woodland area. Children should come to school in their uniform. Children can bring a bag of spare clothes into school which they will change into before we visit the woodlands - this should contain: spare trousers and wellies. |
P.E
Each Friday morning both classes have a P.E session. For this your child will need to come to school dressed in their P.E clothes. PE kits are made up of: trainers, red t-shirts, black shorts or joggers and a hoodie (grey with our school logo). |
MATHS
At school we have a short maths learning session daily. We use White Rose Maths and Mastering Number as our schemes. Children mainly learn through play.
Here are some fun but educational games that you can let your child use to practice our maths and computing at home.
There are no in-app purchases or adverts once you access the game.
