Reception

Welcome to the Upper Foundation Stage page!

We aim to offer your child a stimulating learning environment that enables them to learn through play. We encourage children to develop independence and the skills needed to prepare them for their school career.

We are a dedicated Early Years team and look forward to working with families as partners to ensure every child achieves their potential. If you have any questions please call in and speak to one of the team and we will try to support you and your child. Our P.E. day is Friday and your child will need to wear a warm P.E. kit to school, as where possible P.E. will take place outdoors. Can you also please ensure your child has a water bottle in school, this will be cleaned and refilled daily.

Our aim is for your child to enjoy their time in Early Years and to leave with many happy memories, if you have any concerns I am always available to listen and work with you. Thank you for visiting our page.
