Clever Caterpillars and Brainy Bees

We have two Reception Classes – Clever Caterpillars and Brainy Bees.

• Mr Harper teaches in Clever Caterpillars with Miss Smith as Nursery Nurse.
• Mrs Morley & Mrs Axtell teach in Brainy Bees with Miss Brinkley as Nursery Nurse.
• Mrs Deaner supports both classes as a Teaching Assistant.

Pupils are encouraged to develop learning skills as well as developing their knowledge of the world around them. With a classroom that is engaging and full of possibilities, our pupil's curiosity is fostered in a caring and supportive environment. Throughout the year, children in Reception will transition from a predominantly play-based curriculum to more formal learning experiences in preparation for their transition to Year 1.

Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

At first glance, it can appear that the children are 'only playing' whilst in the Foundation stage. However, the best Early Years Education is based on the understanding that whilst children are playing, they are learning. During the day there will be a mixture of adult-initiated and adult-led activities as well as whole class, small group and individual activities.

Visit the Early Years Curriculum page for detailed information.

Keeping parents informed

Each term we send letters home packed with information. If you think you might have missed a letter, then check out the Letters Home page to see what has been sent. We also have a Calendar on the website with all the important upcoming dates.
