Dear Parent/Carers,

A BIG welcome to our new Reception families! As well as being part of the Nursery teaching team, I support EYFS and enjoy working with our children and families throughout their EYFS journey and beyond. I look forward to getting to know you all.

At Mortimer Primary School we believe in providing a high quality, secure foundation for the future learning and development of our children. Our ambitious EYFS curriculum allows our children to grow as individuals, develop their interpersonal skills, build resilience and confidence as well as become critical and creative thinkers. Every child is recognised as a unique individual and we celebrate the differences within our school community.

We strive to provide a fun, nurturing/secure and challenging environment that enables each child to thrive regardless of any barriers to their learning.

Our school ethos is embedded within the day to day life of our EYFS. Our 4 values shape how we behave, what we say to each other and how we build relationships as well as how we learn.

 We work closely with our parents, previous nurseries and childminders as well as KS1 staff to ensure our transitions are as smooth as possible for all involved. This also ensures continuity and consistency between settings / key stages.

We look forward to working with your children.

Mrs Allsop
