Welcome to our Reception Classes
In Reception, you will find two classes, Jellyfish and Turtles. Although we are two classes we love to learn and play as one! Every lesson in Reception is creative and interactive. There is plenty of time for children to think, explore, discover, question, and wonder.
PE Day
Jellyfish and Turtles have their PE day on a Tuesday. Please ensure that your child has the correct PE Kit, which can be found on our Uniform Page.
Contact
Reception email address: receptionlearning@holytrinity-gravesend.kent.sch.uk
To ensure that you can communicate with your child’s class teacher, we have created year-group email addresses. This email address is monitored daily Monday-Friday, with an aim to respond within 24 hours. When sending an email please include your child’s name in the subject line.
If you have any urgent information/communication please telephone or email the school office, as the administrative team can pass any urgent messages to the class teacher.
Our Aims at EYFS
No matter the pupil’s background or starting point, we strive to ensure that they finish Year R with the all skills and knowledge necessary to succeed.
Timetable
Our timetable can be downloaded below. Here, parents and pupils have the opportunity to view the class schedule to see the day-to-day routine including the range of curriculum that is covered. We have found that children with SEND have responded well to visually seeing the structure of the day ahead.
Terms/Topic Information
At Holy Trinity C of E Nursery and Primary School, we utilise the Cornerstones scheme of work. Parents will receive a Curriculum Booklet and Knowledge Organiser at the start of each term informing them about what the children will be learning. This will also be available below to download.

Home Learning
Phonics and Mathematics homework as well as reading books are due back in school every Thursday. These are then changed and given back out on a Friday.
Unfortunately, due to the Importance of reading books, if they are lost or damaged a £5 fine will be enforced.
