Welcome to Reception

During their time in the Reception, your child will develop key skills, such as learning to read and write and secure their basic numeracy skills.

The Reception promotes an ethos of independence, positive relationships and a love of learning so children are equipped to transition smoothly into Year 1. Children will engage in a variety of Hinterland experiences during their time with us, such as a visit to London Zoo, Museum of Docklands and a local park.

Hands up with energy, these children are happy to answer the question
