Welcome to Class 1
We are a Reception class within our Early Years Foundation Stage. Our class teacher is Miss Milburn and our teaching assistant is Mrs Jackson.
In Reception we have a love of learning and we have a wonderful learning environment and outdoor barn. We have daily phonics sessions, literacy and numeracy focused activities. We also have time to develop all of our key skills by learning and working independently in all of the areas of learning. We always try our best and follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
