What a fantastic start to the year our wonderful Reception children have had! The children in Cook Class have settled beautifully into life at Cranford Park and are already making the most of their brand new classroom. They’ve loved exploring their new environment—inside and out—and are becoming more confident each day as they get to know the routines and rhythms of school life.

We will be starting to introduce some exciting ideas, including Growth Mindset, where the children learn that mistakes help us grow our brains and become even better learners. Alongside this, we’ll begin exploring our school values of courage, creativity and compassion, thinking about what they mean in our everyday actions and how we can “let our light shine” in all we do. It has been a joy to see the children arrive each day with big smiles and such enthusiasm to learn—what a brilliant beginning to their learning journey at Cranford Park!
