Our School Day
The school gates open at 8.40am and the school day begins at 8.45am and finishes at 3.15pm. Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time so that they do not miss valuable learning time.
As Reception is still within Early Years, a large portion of the day will be spent with the children engaged in childled play. The children will also engage in adult-led teaching such as phonics, maths, PSHE, RE and topic.
Learning Through Play
Play is often viewed as a simple pastime for children, but its significance in early childhood education is profound. Play-based learning fosters essential cognitive, social, and emotional development in young learners.
Play-based learning is an educational approach that uses play as the primary mode of learning. Children engage in structured and unstructured play to explore concepts, solve problems, and develop skills. This method is rooted in the understanding that children learn best when they are actively involved and having fun.
Our highly skilled team provide a learning environment that enables children to explore, create, experiment and play! Our resources,equipment and activities are all set up in a way that meets the developmental needs of each child. Our staff will regularly play with the children because it is our skilled questioning and support that helps them to progress.Throughout each day the children will play independently, in groups, with an adult, at a table, on the floor, writing in a book, writing in the mud! We encourage all of our parents to play with their children at home too. You will be amazed at what children are capable of when we meet them at their level.
