Reception

After a year in our Nursery class the transition to Reception is almost seamless for most families,

Throughout Nursery children interact at playtime, lunchtime and through joint sessions in our Gruffalo Woods with the Early Years staff team and specialist teachers, Moving to Reception is an exciting opportunity to move classrooms and continue the exciting learning journey!

Reception children continue to play in The Gruffalo Woods which provide extensive opportunities to explore, discover, and let their imaginations soar within nature. As they embark on their educational journey, our students engage in hands-on experiences, fostering a deep connection with the natural world. From building forts, searching for hidden treasures, to storytelling under the shade of towering trees, The Gruffalo Woods becomes a magical backdrop for their growth and development. Here, they develop resilience, creativity, and a love for the outdoors while building a strong foundation in academics.
