Early Years
We take immense pride in providing a captivating curriculum that ignites a love of learning in all our children, nurturing their curiosity and promoting awe and wonder. Our utmost priority is to offer a nurturing environment where children feel confident to ask questions and show high levels of engagement. We believe in a holistic approach that not only helps children acquire essential foundational knowledge and phonic and mathematical skills but also prepares them for their onward learning journey in Key Stage 1 and beyond. Our team is well-informed about our children's prior learning, interests, and specific needs, allowing us to tailor our teaching approach to help them progress at an ambitious yet appropriate pace. We understand that each child is unique, and we strive to create an environment where every child feels valued, encouraged, and supported to reach their maximum potential.
Our children have opportunities to play, explore, and develop their confidence through our "voices for choices" animal characters that help them develop effective learning characteristics.
Please see our 2023-2024 Reception long term plan at the bottom of this page.
We offer a range of indoor and outdoor learning experiences. We believe that learning is an adventure and should be fun, which is why we also offer enrichment, such as field trips and guest visits, to make our curriculum as engaging as possible.
We know that the early years are a vital time for children's development, so we take great care in designing our curriculum. Our curriculum is guided by a clear intent, ensuring that every child can develop the skills, knowledge, and understanding they need to succeed. We understand that children are curious and love to explore, so we work hard to provide the very best learning environment for them to do so.
