Reception

In Reception, the children enjoy a well-balanced curriculum founded upon the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) alongside our wide-ranging additional curriculum. The additional curriculum covers a variety of topics, festivals and celebrations from around the world. We also incorporate the interests of the individual child within this additional curriculum, which involves children sharing their own knowledge before building on that knowledge in class. Circle-time is used daily as a way of re-capping previous learning as well as introducing new topics for daily teacher-led activities. Throughout the day the children have the opportunity to freely explore activities in all areas of the curriculum.

As well as a lead reception teacher and additional support, the class also benefit from specialist teaching in music, drama, Spanish, French and PE.

Parents have their say

“Saint Pierre is a truly amazing school that has taught all my three children with individual approaches to their learning. The school is like home from home, with a kind caring environment, good values of respect and manners, and supporting children as individuals.”

"My children have received an outstanding education tailored to their needs and all three have achieved great success securing places at the local Grammar Schools. I found it to be one of the nicest schools that I have visited yet, fantastic children and dedicated staff."

"I cannot speak highly enough of this school, what they’ve done for both of my children is simply remarkable and we will always be indebted to this school and the incredible staff. To have children that literally skip into school with a smile everyday having genuinely loved every minute of their time has been a joy for us as parents."
