What Your Child Will Be Learning

In Reception, children learn through play and structured guidance. This year includes daily phonics sessions to help your child become a confident reader, alongside exploring numbers, shapes, and the world around them.

Learning happens across the seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage:

• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social, and emotional development
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design

Explore our Early Years Curriculum for our full approach to learning through play.
