Welcome to Newington Community Primary School and a warm welcome to Reception

Reception marks most children’s very first step into formal schooling. This can be an exciting and nerve-wracking time for children and parents alike but we hope you will feel welcomed and listened to as we support your child into school life at Newington.

Throughout the reception stage of education, your child will start learning through play. They will be busy exploring and discovering a range of exciting activities both in and out of the classroom, making new friendships, listening to stories and taking their first steps into a world of learning. Play remains to be the centre of our curriculum and we plan lots of rich, exciting and new experiences for the children.

We are so excited that you are going to be starting Reception with us and cannot wait to get to know you and to help you make lots of new friends. Being in Reception, is the most wonderful adventures, where you will play and learn new skills every day. By the end of the year, you will be able to do so many amazing things. You will have explored the world around and most importantly had so much fun!
