Reception

We would like to welcome you to Camblesforth Reception

Reception is the first year of legally required state education and is free of charge. Four year old children will commence full time education in the September of the academic year they turn five.

Why Camblesforth Primary Academy?

Camblesforth is a special place, our environment is happy and relaxed, and our children learn through a play based curriculum. They have access to large and well equipped outside areas and an endless list of activities, which means they can make excellent progress both socially and academically.

Activities

We have a lovely dining room, and we encourage a calm atmosphere, which promotes eating and interacting politely with each other, as a family around the table.

We are very proud of our school lunches. Our school cook produces delicious, nutritious food to the highest standards, with exceptional quality ingredients. There is always both a hot and cold option and dietary requirements are catered for.

School lunches are currently government funded from reception until Year 3.

Children can bring a packed lunch from home if they prefer.

Monitoring Progress

We keep you regularly informed of your child’s day to day development and informal parent/teacher consultations are held in both the autumn and summer terms, where you will be invited to discuss your child with a member of staff.

Parents as Partners

We aim to build a close two-way partnership with each parent. You are encouraged to talk briefly to the EYFS team at the beginning or end of a session and are always welcome to make an appointment for a longer discussion. We keep parents informed of our curriculum topics and provide links to develop learning within these areas at home.
