Welcome to Reception Class!

This year, Reception Class will be taught by Mrs Kelly.

Each Friday, Mrs Mooney will be taking the lead on teaching and learning.

Mrs Cardus will also be working within the class.

Both Mrs Mooney and Mrs Cardus bring expertise and kindness to the setting, supporting the children as they grow and learn.

Our mission in Reception Class is to provide an enabling learning environment which faciliates happiness and success for all. Our long term plan of learning is attached at the bottom of the page. This ambitious, engaging curriculum has been carefully designed to offer a suitably pitched, relevant learning experience for all. However, as we get to know the children so well, we will adapt curriculum content to match the needs and interests of the children whilst ensuring that all curriculum areas are taught to meet statutory requirements. 

About Mrs Kelly...

I have been a teacher for many years! I came to St Anne's in March 2015 to do a few days supply cover - and I never left! I quickly became fond of the welcoming, caring, hardworking staff and children and was lucky enough to secure a permanent position. I am currently Assistant Head; I am Early Years Lead which enables me to keep my everyday practice at its most informed and enables me to spread the joy of early years across the school. I am also furtunate enough to be able to  work closely with the amazing team at Sunflowers, strengthening the link between the two settings.

In addition to my work in EYFS, I work across the school to lead Maths and Phonics. This means that I am responsible for ensuring that the prevailing National Curriculum is taught to the highest standard in all year groups. Teaching and learning is carefully monitored and evaluated to ensure best practice and best outcomes for all.
