Reception 2025 - 2026

Autumn 2

We are delighted to begin this exciting first year of primary school with your children. Reception is a special time—full of challenge, growth and opportunity—and we are looking forward to working closely with you to make it a truly memorable one.

At our school, we believe in the power of MAGIC:

✨ Motivated learners who take pride in their effort
✨ Aspirational thinkers who aim high
✨ Growing in independence as they prepare for the next stage
✨ Confidence to try, persevere and succeed

Throughout the year, your children will be encouraged to live out these values in everything they do—both in their learning and in their personal growth. Together, we will help them shine and ensure they leave Reception feeling confident and prepared for Year 1. We’re excited for the journey ahead and look forward to a wonderful year working alongside you and your children.

Homework Expectations

RWI books -  When your child is ready, they will bring home RWI books to match their ability. We will share and read these books in school with your child and send them home on Friday's.
