At Ledbury Primary School, we want children to be happy, confident and 'determined to succeed' in their learning. We provide them with a safe and stimulating environment in which to learn and explore. Children have many opportunities to develop their own learning through carefully resourced provision areas, experienced and highly skilled adults support them through high-quality interactions.

Throughout the year, we use a wide variety of high quality, language rich books to act as stimuli to engage and motivate children in their learning.  These texts are used as a part of Drawing Club where the children are encouraged to use and develop their imagination for story telling through drawing and mark making that later become sentences. 

Reading is a central part of our curriculum, and we aim to pass on our love of reading to the children. There are inviting reading areas where children are able to share books with their friends as well as adults and story time is a key part of our day. 

In maths, we begin the year with a strong focus on developing a sense of number. We explore values to ten and look carefully at how they can be divided into different groups. Children are encouraged to prove and use what they know and to solve problems right from the beginning of Reception. These skills are revisited throughout the Reception Year so that the children become confident and are ready for Year 1.
