In Reception children focus on achieving a ‘Good Level of Development.’ Twelve of the Early Learning Goals, in the Prime Areas, Personal, Social and Emotional development, Communication and Language and Physical development, and the Specific areas of Literacy and Maths are considered together to make up a ‘good level of development’, or otherwise known as GLD. Achieving a good level of development will help a child to make a good start in Year One.
There is a real focus on Mathematics and English in Reception. Whole class teaching is followed up by continuous provision that provides motivating, exciting learning opportunities for children to apply their knowledge and deepen their learning. Children have daily Phonic lessons following ‘Letters & Sounds’ document, to help them develop their reading. Quality texts are identified to help children develop a love of reading.
