Welcome to Reception! 

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember,

involve me and I learn - Benjamin Franklin"

In the EYFS at Barnwood we have an exciting, purposeful and stimulating environment in which to learn and we hope that your child has a truly positive start to their school life with us. We endeavour to provide a curriculum that is based on real-life experiences, involves the children and most importantly, is planned through careful assessment of their own needs and interests. We are a friendly team and have an open door policy. If you ever need to speak to a member of the team, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will help you in any way we can.

We hope you find this information helpful - you can look at the Gallery to see what the children have been doing, Knowledge Organisers for each term and any letters concerning Reception.
