New Reception Information - Starting School

In February 2024 we had an Ofsted inspection where the school was rated as good. Early Years provision at our school was rated as outstanding

 

Below are a few quotes about the Early Years from our report:

 

Children in Reception get off to an excellent start. Well-trained staff support children’s language development exceptionally well. Staff create purposeful opportunities to develop children’s speech and vocabulary. Children learn to read from the moment they start school. 

 

The early years provision in this school is exceptional. Children learn the routines and habits of school from the very beginning. Children are highly motivated and eager to join in.

 

Pupils’ conduct is exemplary. This starts in Reception, where children learn how to develop friendships as they play together and share.

 

 

At Cherhill we know that the Reception Year is so incredibly important, and we are here to support you and your child every step of the way.

By now you will have been offered your place and we are very excited to meet you.

You will be hearing from us in the next few weeks with information about introduction meetings and stay and play sessions. Please keep an eye on this page for more information.
