Welcome to Oak Class 2025/26

Our EYFS teaching team is Mrs Piercy & Mrs Charrett

Welcome to Oak Class

In Oak Class, we believe that the early years are all about building strong foundations for a lifelong love of learning. Our warm, caring, and nurturing environment gives children the confidence to explore, play, and grow at their own pace.

Learning here is guided by the children’s interests, making each day exciting and meaningful. Through play, curiosity, and creativity, we help children develop key skills that prepare them for the next steps in their learning journey - and beyond.

We are proud to provide a happy, safe, and fun space where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to shine.

Important Information

Our PE lessons are on Tuesdays this term.

Children will need to come to school dressed in their full PE kit.

Reading books will be changed once a week.

Home Learning Books (Pink books) will be given out on Fridays. These will contain a page of information and activities based on the Phonics we have been learning that week.

Please could these be returned on Monday as it then gives me time to check, mark and stick in the following week's activities!

Please ensure children have water bottles and reading books in school everyday.

Children are supplied a healthy snack each day. If you choose to send your child in with a snack then these must be healthy and nut free.

In Reception, we play and explore in ALL weather - please provide your child with a pair of named wellington boots to be kept at school.
