Welcome to Reception  2026-2027.

Class Teachers: Mrs Nguyen (RN) and Mrs Ward (RW)

Teaching Assistants: Mrs M (RN) and Mrs Das (RW)

A very warm welcome to our Reception page!

We are delighted to have you join us and look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you. Please use this page to keep up to date with information about Reception events, our curriculum, and copies of letters and important communications that we send home.

We can't wait to welcome you on your very first day of school on Monday 7th September at 8.40am. It is such a special milestone, and we are looking forward to helping you settle in, make new friends, and begin lots of exciting learning adventures. How exciting!

Best wishes. 

Mrs Nguyen and Mrs Ward.

PE Days

 PE will take place every Monday for RN and Tuesday for RW. Children will need to come to school in their PE kits. 

An appropriate PE kit is:

T-shirt in house colour

Forest green or black PE skirt, shorts or jogging bottoms (no other colours of leggings or jogging bottoms please)

Black pull on pumps or trainers (no laces) appropriate for outdoor wear.

Forest Fun

Our first Forest Fun session will take place on Thursday 17th September 2026. 

Please remember that Forest Fun takes place every Thursday afternoon. 

Your child should come to school wearing old clothes that you do not mind getting dirty. Their arms and legs need to be covered as we have holly leaves in the forest area. If there is a non-school uniform day or event in school later in the day, please send in the clothes for this  and we will encourage children to get changed.

We recommend that all children bring in a change of clothes every Forest Fun day, especially socks, as we go out in all weather so they can end up getting wet/muddy!

Clothes to Leave in School.

Please ensure that your child has a set of waterproof clothes (preferably an all-in-one) and a pair of wellies that they can leave in school, as children have access to the outdoors every day and may need to wear these in between Forest Fun sessions. These must be labelled and it is a good idea to practise putting them on at home. 

Reading

Reading sessions will start on Wednesday 16th September 2026. 

Reading books will go home on Friday and will need to be returned on Monday. A  new reading book will be given on Wednesday. This will go home so that you can read with your children. It must be returned on Thursday and Friday as the children will read it during reading sessions. 

Library books will also go home on Fridays and will need to be returned on Monday.

Please show your child how to respect the books and look after them - any damaged or lost books will need to be replaced before receiving a new book.

Thank you for your co-operation with this.
