St Giles Church of England Primary School

A Typical Day in Reception

During the day children have the opportunity to take part in a balance of adult focused learning (such as phonics and maths) as well as rich play based learning, which is carefully supported by the adults in the class. We provide an inclusive environment where all the children’s needs are carefully considered and managed. We support all children to access learning, make progress, and succeed at their own level. The mixture of different learning styles helps children to embed knowledge and develop important skills needed for learning. The children in Reception are highly motivated and active throughout the day.
