Reception is an important milestone year - the bridge between nursery play and the exciting journey of "big school." At Mereside Primary Academy, we believe a strong start in Reception builds the confidence, vocabulary, and social skills your child needs to thrive throughout their entire school life.
While our environment is calm, our curriculum is ambitious! We use high quality programmes to give your child the best possible foundations:
- Read Write Inc. Phonics: This programme helps children learn their sounds quickly, turning them into confident, happy readers.
- White Rose Maths & Mastering Number: We help children develop a powerful "number sense." Through fun, hands-on activities, they learn to truly understand how maths works in the real world.
- Drawing Club: Our literacy is built around the magic of stories. Through "Drawing Club," we unlock your child's creativity and vocabulary, turning books into extraordinary adventures in drawing and writing.
Here is our Curriculum overview of all areas of learning across the academic year:
