Reception Acorn and Chestnut

Welcome to Reception!

We have two Reception classes. The Acorn Class Teacher is Mrs Natasha Wyatt and the teaching assistant are Miss Tisha Trowell and Mrs Alison Saunders. PPA cover is carried out by Mrs Christine Dorricott. Chestnut Class is taught by Miss Jo Taylor and the teaching assistants are Mrs Kerry Mather and Mrs Alison Saunders.

The teaching and learning in Year R is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. We teach the curriculum through a series of topics allowing flexible learning and opportunities to explore the children’s own interests. The day is split into elements of partly teacher initiated and partly child initiated learning. We have lovely classrooms and an enclosed garden, with two canopies, all of which are set up to enable the children to access resources independently and to encourage them to flow freely between all throughout the day.
