Reception pupils enjoy fully refurbished classroom

29.09.2021
Pictured above from left: Mrs Stotesbury, Head, Miss Davies, Reception teacher and Mrs Boccaccini, College Deputy Head (Prep).

As part of the College’s programme of works over the summer, the Reception class has been fully refurbished.

The fresh decor and layout create an environment that is spacious and relaxed. Reception children can explore the updated conservatory area, resourced with small world play and table space; a new roof and spotlighting have made this space functional and inviting.

Reception teacher, Miss Davies said, “The refurbishment has been very welcome and is already much enjoyed. There is now improved access to the garden which allows the children’s learning to flow seamlessly from the inside to outdoors.”

If you are interested in your child joining our Reception class in 2022, you can arrange a private visit.
