The first big step on their academic journey.
Combining a high-quality educational experience with an unparalleled level of care and support, our outstanding Reception class is the ideal way to ease your child into the exciting world of learning.
In the September after children turn 4 years old, they progress from Nursery into our Reception class. We always welcome new children to St Clare’s at this point. In the Reception class they still follow the new Early Years Curriculum and work towards the four Early Years Purposes, but we introduce a more structured school day.
St Clare's Reception school class offers a supportive and fun bridge between Nursery and the more formal educational experience enjoyed from Year 1. Years 1 and 2 are called ‘Key Stage One’ in the national curriculum and Years 3 to 6 are called ‘Key Stage Two’.
