An integrated approach

This phase is used as a planning tool and the learning statements within it are designed to promote progession in learning onwards into primary education.

Reception Years

We believe education works best when curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment align.
Cambridge Reception prepares students for the next stage by developing knowledge, understanding and skills. It is designed to meet the needs of young learners, and is based on international best practice from around the world.
It provides valuable insights into children’s progress for the next stages of their learning and development.

Our approach

The programme builds on these key principles:
*Experience that shapes a child’s learning and development.
*Active children involved in their own learning that develops competence, agency, emotional attachment and self-worth.
*Balance of physical, cognitive, language and communications, and social and emotional development.
*Play-based and child centred.
*Transition successfully to primary school.
