Why Choose our Reception Class?

• Small Class Sizes: We are able to offer three times more qualified teacher time which enables us to teach two adult-led Maths and Literacy sessions per week compared to the bi-weekly adult-led sessions in most state schools.
• Results and Value Added: Our recent assessment results show that our pupils perform extremely well. Our strong partnerships with parents allow us to promote the highest standards for conduct and achievement in and out of school.
• Trips and Visits: Our pupils go on regular trips and have regular visitors, for example, in Reception we have visitors such as the local fire service and drama workshops and trips such as a pantomime and museums. They also get involved with lots of performances in school throughout the year.
• Specialist Teaching and Equipment: We have specialist teachers and equipment in Art,  French, PE, Swimming (lessons start in Nursery!) in our on site swimming pool, Music, and Outdoor Education.
• Outdoor Education: We have over 52 acres to explore and we use them at every opportunity as part of our daily life!
• Food and Nutrition: We have a fantastic catering team, on site, and a dedicated Dining Room. The lunch options are extensive and varied and are included in the fees. Read more about our Food and Nutrition here.
