Reception

Foundations for early learning

The teaching in our Reception class is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. This stage is the period of education up to the age of 5 years.

Our Reception comprises two parallel classes.

``It’s a family oriented school. The head and teachers are understanding and passionate. They care about the well-being of the children.``

Curriculum

The curriculum considers and incorporates the following seven areas of learning:

Our goal is to enhance this core curriculum by providing challenging, fun opportunities for learning, while maintaining a strong emphasis on acquiring the basic tools vital to early schooling. We always remember that every day is an adventure and a time of discovery.

However, we carefully structure the work to help children develop their skills and relationships. This enables them to reach their Early Learning Goals by the end of the Reception year. In fact most of our children exceed them.

Join us for a personal tour

We warmly welcome families during term time, offering tailored personal tours on a day that suits you.

Enjoy an informative meeting with Mrs Waite, who will chat to you about your child and what Milbourne can do for them, and answer any questions you may have, followed by a guided tour of the school.

Tailored learning and continuous assessment

We also recognise that all children develop and learn in different ways and at different speeds. It is therefore important to differentiate accordingly. This allows all our children to achieve and progress within an enabling environment that caters for their individual needs.

By observing the children at both work and play we are able to continuously assess progress and attainment. We maintain a profile of each child’s development during their Reception year. This profile is shared with parents and staff at the end of Reception before each child moves into Year 1.

Begin an unforgettable adventure.

Children who join Milbourne Lodge develop their confidence and gain a genuine love for learning, putting them on the path to success.
