Welcome to The Foundation Stage

If you need to see your child's class teacher please make an appointment at the school office.

The Foundation Stage

We would like to welcome all of our new children to Highfields Primary school.

Entering Reception at Highfields Primary School is your child’s first step on their school journey. We recognise that this is a huge transition for both children and their parents. We look forward to working with you and your child to develop their lifelong love of learning. We will work in partnership with you to develop your child’s self- esteem, confidence and growing independence.  In your child's first year at Highfields we will build strong foundations to help your child foster a love of learning.

School Day

• School begins at 8.50am Children will be welcomed by the glazed link doors in the KS1 playground by a member of staff and will be assisted to their classrooms.
• Lunch takes place from  11.45 and finishes at 1pm
• The school day ends at 3pm and children will be dismissed from the KS1 Corridor once the appropriate adult has been seen.

We have provided a useful handy guide on how we teach children to read in the reception classes. This handy guide will help you understand how your child is beginning to learn to read, and how best you can support them at home with this process.
