WELCOME TO RECEPTION 2023-24

 

At Westminster we pride ourselves on providing an inclusive, nurturing and exciting Early Years department that allows all children to make progress.

We care about your child's views and will always try and ensure we provide a stimulating environment that they enjoy learning in. 

Each half term is based around a topic but we also take into account children's interests therefore mini topics will flow alongside the main topic.

      

Every half term, you can check this page for information about your child's topic and pictures of their learning and experiences.

AIR

For our children who may need extra support to access the year 1 curriculum, we have our AIR room. This is run by Mrs Herkowyi and two support assistants.  We aim to facilitate their learning through sensory experiences and imaginative play, creating a bespoke curriculum for each child. Children in AIR also benefit from being in a smaller class, with the goal to integrate into the class and follow the national curriculum.
