Parson Cross CE Primary School
Welcome to Reception Class
Reception
In Reception class, learning is based around the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. This is specifically designed to meet the needs of the youngest children in school to allow them to develop their basic skills needed to access the future curriculum and for wider life. We provide an environment that is rich and stimulating with well planned, purposeful activities designed to engage the children.
Each half term we focus the learning around 1 main theme:
Autumn 1-Marvellous Me
Autumn 2-People Who Help Us
Spring 1-Under the Sea
Spring 2-Journeys and Transport
Summer 1-Seaside
Summer 2-Creatures Great and Small
At Parson Cross, we know that the move to Reception class and full-time schooling is a significant milestone for children and their families. We know that links between home and school are crucial to ensuring every child can flourish. If you ever have any queries, don’t hesitate to speak to one of the staff team.

In addition to our well-resourced classroom, the children’s learning opportunities and experiences are extended through the newly developed outside classroom area. Our outdoor environment means that we can offer a range of exciting activities both inside and outside. We aim to provide learning opportunities that are mirrored from the inside area into the outdoors to allow the children to develop their learning independently.
Believe, Achieve, Celebrate
Our staff team believe in seeing each child as an individual and work closely with each child to ensure that they believe in themselves preparing them for challenges that they may face in their school journey. We continuously monitor children’s progress and implement different strategies to allow all children to achieve the best of their potential. Our nurturing environment ensures that all pupils have the confidence to express themselves and celebrate their individuality as well as their accomplishments.
