At Robert Kett Primary, our Reception children are nurtured and inspired to become lifelong learners. We pride ourselves on our ambitious curriculum, the cultural opportunities the children experience, our inquiry-based and investigative approach to learning and the wealth of practitioner knowledge our team shares with every child and their family.

Every child starts Reception with a wealth of prior knowledge and a diverse range of previous learning experiences. We meet the children at their development stage, and provide a learning environment that enables every learner to succeed. Every child is unique, and our inclusive environment ensures that all learners are both challenged and supported.

We develop our curriculum around the needs and interests of each cohort, allowing every year to be a unique learning experience. In Reception, play-based learning is at the heart of our provision as it provides the children with the opportunity to take ownership over their learning.

We fundamentally believe that children have the right to play, and that learning through play is crucial for their development, well-being and mental health.

We encourage healthy life choices, practise yoga and mindfulness, and create a feeling of calmness and comfort by using real-life resources and natural tones in our learning environment.

Our classrooms and outdoor learning environment are currently being renovated and we can't wait to share the new spaces with our current and future pupils. On completion, we will be happy to invite you to take a look around this exciting new development.
