Reception children work from the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.   This covers 3 prime areas of learning: Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal Social and Emotional Development and 4 core areas of learning: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding of the World and Expressive Arts and Design.  Many of the activities are play based and the children are able to choose many of their activities, they are able to move freely between the inside classroom and outside area.  By the end of the Reception year the children are expected to reach the Early Learning Goal in each area.

Please see the 'Starting School' leaflet to help your child prepare for 'big' school.
