Welcome to Reception

At St Bernadette Catholic Primary, we believe that our Early Years Foundation Stage is crucial to developing firm foundations to be built upon throughout our school journey and beyond. It is our intent that the children who enter our EYFS develop physically, verbally, emotionally, creatively, intellectually and spiritually whilst embedding a positive attitude to school and learning in order for each child to achieve their full potential. We set high expectations throughout all areas of school life and beyond.  We believe that all children deserve to be valued as individuals, and we are passionate about supporting all children to achieve their full, unique potential.

Our Reception class follows the EYFS Birth to Five Matters curriculum, which has  seven areas of learning.

The Prime Areas:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
