Reception
A very warm welcome to Reception!
We believe that the Reception year is vital for securing the foundations for life-long learning. We aim to equip our children with the skills and knowledge needed to become independent, resilient and enthusiastic learners through a growth mind-set approach. We look forward to working with you and your child.
Our Reception team includes:
Caterpillars: Mrs Howe
Dragonflies: Miss Churchill
Also working in Reception: Mrs Gill, Mrs Ogilvie, Mrs Hones, Miss Peacock, Miss Biggadike, Miss Barber and Mrs Fox
If there are any queries or concerns, please feel free to make an appointment to talk with Mrs Howe or Miss Churchill.
At St. Andrew’s we aim to provide a rich and stimulating environment which nurtures the individual child and harnesses their interests through our creative curriculum covering the seven areas of learning.
The seven areas of learning are:
Three Prime Areas:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
Four Specific Areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
Here are videos showing you around our two Reception Classrooms.

If there are any queries or concerns, please feel free to make an appointment to talk with your child's class teacher. Alternatively feel free to email the school office with any questions or queries you may have.
We use Dojo as a consistent communication platform with our parents, where you will find key dates, events and Thoughts for the Weekend associated with Reception.
