Reception 2026 - 2027
Mr Rogers
Welcome to Reception
We are absolutely delighted to extend a warm welcome to you and your children as they embark on a wonderful adventure of learning with us. Your child will be taught by their class teacher Mr Rogers and supported by Mrs Barnes (Monday - Thursday) and Mrs Winters (Friday).
To make sure your child has the best experience, here are some important details:
Drop off and pick up - your child will enter through the main door of the building. We kindly ask adults not to come through the doors with their child. At home time, Mr Rogers will dismiss children one at a time to their parent or carer. If there is a change to which adult will be collecting your child, you must inform the school office.
Reading Together - Reading is a cornerstone of learning. We celebrate children who read at home, in class. Don't forget to record these moments in the reading log provided. Reading together is a small step that makes a big difference! Please make sure the reading logs come to school every day.
Reading books - your child will come home on a Monday with a 'Reading for Pleasure' book to share together at home. This is book for you to read and share with your child at those special times. They will also bring home a decodable 'Big Cat' reading book. This book will match the graphemes and tricky words that we have learnt in group reading and phonics.
PE - Every Friday with our sports coach, children should come to school in their PE kit on that day.
Clothing name labels - please label jumpers, cardigans and any clothing which could be mislaid. This will help us return the correct items back to you!
Stay hydrated - Remember to send your child with a refillable water bottle everyday - please only fill these bottles with water.
Snack - All children will receive free snack each day - fresh fruit, milk and water. In addition, children can purchase school hot snack for 20p - 30p per day. Please click here for more information relating to our healthy snack policy. Please ensure that any snack money is provided in a named purse/wallet/envelope.
Curriculum overview
Our curriculum is designed to meet the The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework principles and requirements. The framework defines seven areas of learning and development that children progress through in their early years, divided into three prime areas and four specific areas. The three prime areas are; Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social and Emotional Development, which are the essential building blocks for all other learning. The four specific areas are Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design, which build upon the prime areas. Please download the overviews below for further details.
