Love to Learn, Together with the Lord
Welcome to our Reception Class Page
Our class team comprises of Mrs Mellor, Mrs Conway, Mrs Johnson and Miss Bamber. We are excited to welcome your children into our class and nurture their ideas and enthusiasm for learning.
Our Reception curriculum keeps us busy and active everyday both inside the classroom and in our outdoor area. We encourage our children to share their interests both in and out of school and use their ideas as foundations for creative learning opportunities.
