We are proud to be a lead school for the RISE Reception Network programme, an initiative aimed at improving the quality of the reception year and supporting more children to begin school ready to thrive. We are looking forward to starting work with a range of schools across the region throughout the 2026 Summer term.

Our first half‑termly EYFS Virtual Network Meeting will provide an opportunity to connect with fellow practitioners, share ideas, and explore effective, evidence‑informed practice within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Virtual Network 1 will focus on:

• Welcome to the Network
• The DfE Early Years Offer
• Summer transitions and planning
• Expanding the network and agreeing next steps

Date: Thursday 21st May
Time: 3:30pm – 4:30pm
Format: Virtual (online)

In addition, we are hosting in person visits to our early years setting on Thursday 5th June or Friday 6th June. This visit will offer you an opportunity to observe practice and engage in professional discussion with colleagues. Please note, you only need to choose to attend one of the sessions as they will both be covering the same content.
