Reception Year Curriculum - Early Years Foundation Stage 

The Reception year is where children start their learning journey at Stroud Valley Community Primary School. Some will know each other from nursery, play groups or local childminders, others will find it all new, exciting and maybe a little scary, but by the end of the first term they will all have made lots of new friends and become used to our school’s routines and expectations. 

Four guiding principles shape what we do. These are:  

• every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured  

• children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships  

• children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers  

• children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates.
