Reception

Welcome to Reception at Poringland Primary

Welcome to Reception at Poringland Primary School and Nursery! Our year group, consisting of 60 wonderful children, is the final step in the Early Years Foundation Stage.  What sets us apart is our commitment to hands-on, child-led learning, fostering independence and a love for discovery. With 30 children in each class, led by dedicated teachers and supported by two teaching assistants, we provide a nurturing environment for each child’s growth.

 

Our emphasis on Continuous Provision empowers children to learn independently, marking the beginning of their reading and writing journey. Throughout the year, our little learners make remarkable progress in all seven areas of learning, acquiring essential skills to navigate rules, routines, and positive relationships. Rooted in festivals, celebrations, and seasons, our curriculum lays a strong foundation for a joyous and educational adventure in Reception!

I really enjoy working in Reception as the children are so eager to learn and so kind, caring and thoughtful to each other. Being outside in our fantastic woods and wildlife area is my favourite place at school and a fantastic resourced area to learn about the natural environment, get close to nature and experience the changing seasons.
