We are delighted to welcome your child and family to Wheatfields Primary School as you begin your Reception year journey with us. Starting school is a big step, and our team is committed to making the transition as smooth and positive as possible.
Our Reception staff work closely with families and carers to ensure every child feels happy, safe, and ready to learn. We believe in creating a nurturing environment where children can develop their confidence, curiosity, and love for learning right from day one.
