Reception Daily Timetable

Please click on the image below for our weekly timetable this term - this will be updated termly but also please note that, on occasions, we do have to make changes to the timetable - for the children, we call these 'oops moments'. PE for the academic year 2026 - 27, will be on a Thursday afternoon. Please ensure children come to school dressed in PE kit.

Reception Reading Spine

We have carefully selected these books which we will read with Reception over the course of the year. The books link with our topics, curriculum and children's interests.
