Wren - Reception

Welcome to Wren class, where every child is encouraged to learn, explore, create and grow in a nurturing, happy and fun environment.

We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, valued and excited to discover the world around them. Our classroom is a place where curiosity is celebrated, creativity is encouraged and children are supported to develop confidence, independence and a love of learning. Through purposeful play, engaging experiences and positive relationships, we provide children with opportunities to learn while developing their individual interests.

Outdoor learning is an important part of our EYFS experience. We embrace the opportunities that our outdoor environment provides for children to explore, investigate, take risks, solve problems and develop their physical skills. Whether we are discovering nature, creating imaginative worlds, building or experimenting, our children are encouraged to learn through first-hand experiences and hands-on exploration.

Our curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework, covering the seven areas of learning. We use ‘Development Matters’ to inform our planning, alongside our professional knowledge of the children and their individual needs and interests. This enables us to provide a rich, ambitious and carefully considered curriculum that builds on what children already know and prepares them for their next steps in learning.
