Welcome to Reception at Holy Trinity School
We have so much fun in our Reception class and love learning!
We follow a play-based curriculum that nurtures independent, curious and active learners who love to explore, take risks and rise to challenges. We build strong foundations through hands-on experiences that follow the interests of the children, preparing them with confidence for their learning journey. As OFSTED commented “Children in Early Years get off to a flying start.”
Early Years Foundation Stage
The ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’ (EYFS) is the statutory curriculum, covering the learning and development from birth to five. At Holy Trinity, we value the importance that the EYFS plays in laying secure foundations for future learning and development. Learning through play is key to the development of young children and we provide rich, creative learning opportunities that capture children’s interest, engaging and motivating them to develop skills through a graduated approach.
Our school values
We value each child as a unique individual and by providing rich and engaging learning experiences, aim to ignite a lifelong love of learning and equip them with the tools and knowledge to fulfil their potential. In keeping with our Christian foundation, we nurture the values of aspiration, love and community and encourage the children to discover and develop their gifts and talents so that they can make a positive contribution to the world around them.
Learning through play
In our setting we follow a child centred approach and explore using our continuous provision. Throughout each half term, we have different topics to explore, alongside small adult led groups and our free-flow learning. We cover all areas of the Early Years curriculum and ensure the children leave reception full of amazing memories and feeling confident and ready to continue their learning into Key Stage 1.
