Starting Nursery and Reception

We work very hard to ensure that children have a smooth transition into Nursery and Reception. We recognise that the move into a new school or year group is a big one – often for parents and carers as much as for the students.

We hope you find our administration meeting and induction presentation positive. These are organised to allow a seamless transition for your child, ensuring that students entering Nursery or Reception settle in quickly and with ease. Please refer to the information in the letters you will have received as well as additional documents during your administration meeting.

To help your child with the transition into a new class in September we have created videos with key information and photographs. Please refer to the curriculum and school newsletters for key dates and any updates to start/finish times or changes for each year group/class.

We hope you find the videos useful.

Starting Year 1

Like all year groups, Year 1 has government statutory schemes of learning to follow. The children will be assessed at the end of the year to see if they have reached the expected standard. All children are supported in order to achieve this and are given extra support and guidance if needed. The organisation and timetable for the day looks a little different to that experienced in Reception.
