Starting school in Reception at Hodnet
At Hodnet we pride ourselves on ensuring the best possible start for our reception learners as we know that this crucial stage of education has a huge impact on children’s happiness and overall school journey. Our dedicated Early Years team have a wealth of experience between them and play a fundamental role in laying the foundations for learning at Hodnet.
Reggio Emilia themed provision
Our Reception classroom is Reggio Emilia inspired, meaning that it is more natural in style and discovery based for our young inquisitive learners. We expose our children to enriching real life experiences, immersing them in progressive knowledge and skills and equipping them with personal characteristics to succeed in life. We know that all of our learners are inquisitive, constructive and have the ability to map their own learning path though creativity and discovery.
