Wrens (Reception)

Wrens are taught by Mrs. B Chattey (EYFS Lead). On Fridays, Mrs. Louise Skeggs teaches the class from 9am to 12pm whilst Mrs. Chattey has her PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) release time. Both Mrs. Chattey and Mrs. Skeggs are highly experienced Early Years teachers. Mrs. Gemma Last is the Teaching Assistant in the class and supports in the class all week. 

We have 16 Reception children in our class.  

We are an early years setting, based within our primary school, and we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage, preparing our children to enter Key Stage One at the end of this year. 

In Wrens, we provide a warm and nurturing environment where our youngest learners can grow, explore, and thrive. Our curriculum is play-based and child-led, following the interests of the children as much as possible to create meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

We value strong home–school partnerships and encourage families to complete the home learning books regularly. This helps us connect with your child’s experiences outside of school and supports conversation and learning in the classroom.

A fruit or vegetable snack and milk are provided daily. Please note that milk must be ordered and paid for if your child is over the age of 5. We embrace outdoor learning in all seasons, so please make sure your child has appropriate clothing for all weather conditionsAccidents can happen, so we ask that your child has a set of spare clothes kept in school at all times.
