Overview

A warm welcome to our new starters, we can't wait to meet you!
Welcome to Monkey class, an exciting place where Reception children learn alongside children in Year's 1 & 2.

How does it work?

Children in Reception are provided with a wealth of child-initiated and directed learning activities that support your child's progress in achieving their Early Learning Goals (ELGs). 
There are 7 areas of learning and development that shape the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS): this is made up of 3 prime areas and 4 specific areas. Each area of learning is important and inter-connected. 

The prime areas are: 

• Communication and Language (C & L)
• Physical Development (PD)
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) 

Children are also supported in four specific areas, whereby the prime areas are strengthened and applied. 
 

The specific areas are: 

• Literacy 

• Mathematics 

• Understanding of the World

• Expressive Arts and Design
