An introduction to Reception...

• By the end of Reception most children will have achieved some or all of the ELG’s (Early Learning Goals). 
• Children who are still working towards achieving the ELG’s will continue to work on these during Year 1.
• Parents/Carers will be updated at regular intervals throughout the year on their child’s progress. 
• Parents/Carers will receive an end of year report in the Summer term celebrating their child’s progress and achievement. ​

A Typical Day in Reception...

• Within the classroom you can expect to see children participating in a variety of child initiated and teacher led sessions. 
• Your child's class teacher and TA’s will be observing the children and documenting their achievements. 
• At different points throughout the day your child will work directly with class teachers or TAs in a small group activity or whole class activity.
