Welcome to Reception!

In Reception, we build beautifully on the foundations laid in Nursery. Children begin a more structured journey into reading, writing, and mathematics, while still enjoying plenty of creative, independent play.

Below, you’ll find everything you need to track their progress and support their learning journey at home.
