Reception and Early Years

Our older pre-prep children join our reception class, which means they get access to a qualified teacher before they start school formally, adding value to the pre-school years by investing in a qualified teacher from 3 years old.

Our Nursery and Reception classes follow the EYFS framework, which covers the following areas of learning:

The prime areas of learning are:

  • Communication and Language (listening and attention, understanding and speaking)
  • Physical Development (moving and handling, health and self-care)
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development (self-confidence and self-awareness, managing feelings and behaviour)

The specific areas of learning are:

  • Literacy (reading and writing)
  • Mathematics (numbers, shape, space and measures)
  • Understanding the World (people and communities, the world, technology)
  • Expressive Arts and Design (exploring and using media and materials, being imaginative)
