If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you! 

*Our Christian Value for the term*

Our Christian Value this term is ‘Friendship.’

Friendship is such an important value in our society, with children often spending more time with their friends than with family.

Jesus tells stories of the heavenly banquet to which all are invited. The barriers between people are broken down in a loving community around God, and Jesus had stern words to say to those who refused to recognise that all are included in this community of friendship.

True friendship enables each person to grow and ensures that the unique individuality of each person is recognised. All this echoes the value placed by God on the preciousness of each person.

‘A friend loves at all times.’ (Proverbs 17:17)

*Our Learning for this term*

Autumn Term 1 2026

Hello and welcome to all our new families. We are so happy your child is starting their learning journey with us, and we look forward to sharing many happy memories with them over the year.

This term will see the children introduced to the rules and routines of our school from sharing a snack to learning to read. We will be focusing on a range of texts to develop their vocabulary and communication skills. 

This term’s focus is around starting school, understanding emotions and what to do with them. We will be looking at our families (please do send in photos!) and what make us unique while creating and exploring in our new environments.

We will finish the term with a celebration of Harvest by inviting you in to see this year’s EYFS harvest production.
