Welcome to Reception at St. Luke’s

A very warm welcome to our Reception page.
We are delighted to be part of your child’s first year at school — a year full of excitement, curiosity, and discovery. Our aim is to ensure that every child feels happy, safe, and valued, so they can grow in confidence and develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

In Reception, we have two classes: Pinewoods and Sand Dunes.

Our Reception team works closely together to provide the very best start to your child’s school journey.

• Miss Hesketh and Miss Irvin are our class teachers who teach across both Pinewoods and Sand Dunes.

• They are supported by our Learning Support Assistants — Mrs. Markham, Mrs. McGill, and Miss Sinnott.

This page is where you will find updates about what the children have been learning and experiencing throughout the week — from exciting discoveries and creative projects to outdoor adventures and new friendships being formed. We love to share these special moments with you, so you can see how your child is learning, growing, and thriving in Reception.

We are always here to help and are happy to chat about your child’s learning, progress, or wellbeing at any time. You can reach us by email at [email protected] 

If you would like to learn more about the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at St. Luke’s — including our curriculum, approach, and ethos — please visit the ‘Curriculum’ tab on our school website homepage.

We look forward to sharing this wonderful year of learning and adventure with you and your child.
