Welcome to the Reception Classroom Website! We are absolutely thrilled to present this online platform, designed to provide you with vital information about our Early Years curriculum, highlight significant events, and share in our joyful celebrations of learning.

Our Reception team consists of three wonderful classes— Pufflings, Cygnets and Ducklings—each playing a distinct role in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages children to flourish. Through our inspiring Harmony curriculum, we aim to instill a sense of curiosity and a genuine love for learning in every child, embodying our school’s mission of ‘Living and Learning in Harmony.’ This approach ensures that every pupil feels valued, appreciated, and empowered as they embark on their educational journey.

On this page, you will find an array of resources related to our curriculum, including special Masterpiece projects and exciting upcoming events that aim to enhance community spirit and encourage parent involvement. We firmly believe that collaboration between home and school is crucial for achieving pupil success; thus, we invite you to stay connected and actively engage with your child's learning experience. To support your child’s development at home, we have also included links to additional resources for you to explore together, fostering an enriching learning environment both in and out of the classroom.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to approach your child’s class teacher during pick-up or drop-off times. We encourage open communication and are here to support you in any way we can. Alternatively, you can reach us via email through the school office. We are excited about the wonderful year ahead, filled with growth, discovery, and joyful learning experiences for both pupils and families alike!
