Reception

Reception has children aged 4-5 years old. Reception is the first year of compulsory education, so for those who did not attend Nursery, this will be their first year in school. We have 3 classes in Reception, with 30 pupils in each class.

Reception classes are named after the planets Saturn, Mars and Earth.

The teachers in reception are Miss Fitzgerald in Saturn, Miss Irfan in Mars and Miss Lindsay in Earth. They are supported by Early Years Practitioners Miss Khan, Mrs Shah and Miss Noreen. They are also supported by Teaching and Learning Partners Miss Nazli, Miss Abid, Mrs Hussain and Ms Guzelian.
