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 this year.

Our Reception team includes:


Caterpillars: Mrs Howe

Dragonflies: Miss Churchill

Also working in Reception: Mrs Gill, Mrs Hones, Mrs Ogilvie, Miss Peacock, Miss Biggadike, Miss Hamit, Miss Barber and Mrs Fox
