Kirkburton CE First School

Welcome to Class Reception

We currently have seventeen wonderful girls and boys in Class Reception who love to learn and play together every school day.

Miss C. Davies is our Class Reception teacher. 

Mrs E. Morton teaches Class R when Miss Davies is out of class for planning time.

 Mrs E. Wallis is our full time educational teaching assistant in Class R. 

Mrs S. Taylor and Mrs J. Selbie are our EYFS school governors. 

At Kirkburton CE First School we recognise that children will join us from a variety of nursery settings and backgrounds. As a school we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive community where all children can thrive. Before children even begin school with us we work closely with their nursery settings and their families to ensure that by the time children arrive at the beginning of their reception year they already feel known by us, helping them to quickly become a part of our school family. We treat children as unique individuals, appreciating that they will already have had many experiences and influences that shape who they are. We strive to use this to help us to bring out the best in every child because we believe that every child is talented. Our overall goal is to inspire and nurture a love of learning within every child so that they can begin their educational journey with confidence and resilience, allowing them to be successful at Kirkburton CE First School and beyond.

Please see our EYFS Curriculum Overview to find out more about how we follow the statutory EYFS Framework and how we plan for the prime areas and specific areas of early learning and development.
