Why Reception Matters?

Monday 18th May 2026

Starting Reception is one of the biggest milestones in your child’s life. It is far more than just a new uniform; it is the vital foundation for their entire education.

In this short video, our Head of EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) takes you inside our vibrant classrooms to show you daily life in Reception and explain why this first step is so crucial.

Why the Early Years Count:

  • Active Learning: Our Phonics and reading schemes help with early reading whilst our maths allows children to truly understand mathematical concepts
  • Social Confidence: Everyday is full of opportunities to explore, question, create and discover
  • Specialist teaching: In Swimming, PE, French, Performing Arts and Music

“Our Reception classrooms are warm, nurturing, inspiring places, where every child is truly known” — Mrs Hibberd, Head of EYFS
