Transition from Pre-Schools and Nurseries.

We will be talking to pre-school and nursery settings, as we always do, to find out where your  child is in their learning.

We have set out some useful resources to support your child's transition including 'A Road to School' document, so you can help to prepare your child for starting at St Stephen's. 

 Starting Primary School - The BBC have put together some articles, videos and resources to support you and your child with starting primary school.

Learning in Reception.

The Early Years is all about your child learning through play. Your child will spend most of their day in school accessing the continuous provision and following their own interests both indoors and outdoors. The areas within the classroom will be set up by adults who have taken into account your child's interests and next steps. The children will access these areas with support and guidance from teaching staff.

 

During the day, your child will take part in some short adult led activities focused around Communication and Language, Phonics and Maths. Although adult led, these will be fun and engaging sessions, planned with the children's interests and needs in mind.

There are ample opportunities throughout the week for outdoor play, as we believe this is vital for children's development.
