Welcome to Wolves Class, where children begin their journey at Thringstone Primary School.

Our Reception teachers are Mrs Augustin and Miss Taylor, supported by our experienced Learning Support Assistants. Together, they create a calm, nurturing and well-structured environment where children feel safe, develop confidence and quickly become part of our school community.

Starting school is a significant milestone, and we place great importance on helping every child settle happily and feel ready to learn. Guided by our vision to Believe and Achieve Together, and our expectations of being Ready, Respectful and Safe, children are supported to build friendships, develop independence and approach new challenges with confidence.

In Reception, children develop strong foundations in early reading, writing and mathematics while also growing socially and emotionally. Learning is carefully planned to balance direct teaching with opportunities for exploration, helping children build curiosity, resilience and a love of learning.

Throughout the year, children enjoy a wide range of experiences. From celebrating important festivals to exploring the local area and learning outdoors, these opportunities help children understand the world around them and strengthen their sense of belonging.
