Welcome message and Ethos
Welcome to Reception Class! We are delighted to begin this exciting learning journey with you and your children. This year, we will grow together—showing Courage as we try new things, Compassion as we care for one another, and Commitment as we develop our skills day by day and learn never to give up! We look forward to building a warm, supportive classroom where every child feels valued, confident, and ready to shine.
