Welcome to Reception. We provide a balanced curriculum across the 7 Areas of Learning with opportunities for children to engage in adult directed, adult-initiated and child-initiated activities in indoor and outdoor learning environments.  We plan motivating learning experiences based on Development Matters and the Statutory framework for the EYFS.  Tasks sustain children’s interests well, including pupils with special educational needs and disability (SEND). We encourage independence and self-motivation. We provide early intervention for those children who require additional support. Effective assessments and observations allow us to ensure that children who need extra support get what they need, including children with SEND. We plan a wide variety of experiences within our strong structure, routines and high expectations. We value and aim to support children’s wellbeing and involvement in activities, realising that a high level of both produces optimal learning.
