We are so excited to have you and your child join us as we begin this wonderful learning journey together. Reception is a magical year full of fun, discovery, and big milestones as your child takes their first steps into school life.
At Shirley, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming and friendly school where children are at the heart of everything we do. Our Early Years Foundation Stage is designed to offer every child a caring, safe, and inspiring environment, where learning is exciting, meaningful, and challenging. We are dedicated to nurturing each child's unique potential, helping them develop the confidence and skills they need to flourish.

Reminders
Book bags: Children will choose a new book to take home every Thursday. Please ensure the books are returned, and the reading record is completed, so they can bring a new book home again on Friday.
Labels: Please label everything, yes we mean everything – socks, shoes, jumpers, trousers, bags, wellies etc.
Please see our Curriculum letter and newsletter below to find additional information about our Autumn 1 term.
We love sharing snapshots of our day-to-day adventures! Scroll through our photos to see the fun activities we've been up to in class – from building tall towers with blocks to buildinga water chanel in our playground. Our classroom is always buzzing with creativity, laughter, and lots of smiles!
