Miss Nesbitt, Miss Bailey, Miss Walsh, Miss R Harrison, Miss E Hanson, Miss M Hanson, Mrs McConnell, Miss Read, Miss D Harrison and Miss Yesen are thrilled to be making the Reception year of 2025-26 fun-filled and interesting! We are planning lots of exciting learning opportunities tailored specifically to engage our fabulous family of learners. 

Here in the Foundation Stage we have lots of fun learning through play and exploration. We have a balance of child initiated and adult directed activities and all our learning opportunities are designed to help every child reach their full potential and allow children to lead on their learning.

We pride ourselves on being an approachable and friendly team so please know that we are always keen to hear all about the latest news, concerns and celebrations! We regularly update our Class dojo resources with information about daily life in Reception.
