Reception and Year 1

Reception is a busy year with lots to do and lots to learn! Our children's interests and passions are carefully nurtured in a safe and encouraging environment. Year 1 is the beginning of children’s learning journey in Key Stage 1, making the move from Reception. Children’s learning builds upon the strong foundations made in the Early Years Foundation Stage, gradually transitioning into a more formal structure of learning.
