Reception

We provide a springboard for learning

We teach through a balance of structured play and teaching, promoting curiosity and confidence.

Your child’s happiness and success is at the heart of everything we do here at Glenesk and as your child takes the first formal steps along their educational journey, we will provide them with exceptional teaching, small class sizes and superb pastoral care.

A curriculum that inspires

Like Nursery and Rising Reception, we continue follow an enhanced EYFS curriculum, with an emphasis on first-hand learning and well-structured play activities enhanced with a range of rich learning experiences and activities.

The EYFS incorporates seven areas of learning:

  • Personal, social and emotional development

  • Communication and language

  • Literacy

  • Mathematics

  • Understanding of the world

  • Physical development

  • Expressive arts and design

Glenesk is small and friendly every teacher knows each child and parent it feels like a family. The children feel safe and happy so learning happens naturally without them noticing!

Results that speak for themselves

All our children learn at their own pace the results are a testament to the school's holistic approach to education. The highly skilled and passionate teaching staff have provided a nurturing and stimulating environment where each child is encouraged to reach their full potential.

Our recent SIS inspection said: “Children’s attainment is well above national average across early years." At the end of Reception 89 per cent of our children are working at emerging or exceeding level, 20 per cent higher than the county average.

Monitoring your child's progress

Throughout the year we build a profile of each child using observation notes, samples of work and photographs, which reflects the child’s achievement and progress.

You will receive regular updates with an opportunity to meet with their teacher at Parent’s Evenings held in the Autumn and Spring terms, alongside access to them at all times.

Gaining real-world experiences outside the classroom

Educational visits are organised and supported to enhance the delivery of the curriculum, along with visitors to school and involvement by parents and other caregivers, so they can support their child’s individual learning journey.

Our pupil’s social development is very important and we put a strong emphasis on traditional values, such as good manners, respect for others and individual responsibility.
