We are very excited to welcome you all to your start of school life at English Martyrs! This school year is going to be filled with fun, lots of learning and new experiences. 

This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing in Reception this term and throughout the academic year.

Remember it's really important to be at school every day, on time and ready to learn.

Being Ready, Respectful and Safe In School

Our three school rules are : ready, respectful and safe

We aim to ensure that excellent behaviour is a minimum expectation for all. Being ready to learn at all times and allowing others to be ready as well. 

With the growing awareness of love for all, we will help children towards true respect for the beliefs and cultures of others. We will also adopt a respect for the environment. We aim to ensure that children feel safe at all times, including being safe online.

We will ensure that each child will have experience of forgiving and being forgiven. We will encourage children to accept responsibility for their actions and to apologise when necessary. 

To be ready to learn in school please support the children with:

P.E. - All children are expected to take part in a full P.E. kit and trainers. Earrings  are not allowed during P.E. for safety reasons. Please see the uploaded timetable below for allocated PE lesson days.

Reading @ Home - Children should read for 15 minutes each night - this could be their Collins Book (online / physical), library book or a book of their own choice from home. This will be more productive if it is carried out in a calm, quiet environment.
