Reception

Reception has children aged 4-5 years old. Reception is the first year of compulsory education, so for those who did not attend Nursery, this will be their first year in school. We have 3 classes in Reception, with 30 pupils in each class.

Reception classes are named after the planets Saturn, Mars and Earth.

The teachers in reception for 2024/25 are Miss Fitzgerald in Saturn, Miss Irfan in Mars and Miss Laban in Earth. They are supported by the Early Years Practitioners; Miss A Iqbal, Miss S Iqbal, Miss Noreen and Miss Khan. As well as the Teaching and learning partners, Miss Nazli and Miss Abid.
