Why join our reception class at Belle Vue Primary School?

Here at Belle Vue Primary School we pride ourselves on our wonderful early years environment and our highly experienced early years team who go above and beyond to give our Nursery and Reception Class children a fantastic start to school life.

By joining our reception class your child will benefit from:

• Extremely experienced early years staff, including a former early years advisor.
• A SENCO, with more than 20 years' experience supporting SEND children.
• A lovely open plan classroom, as well as lots of outdoor space for outdoor learning.
• Weekly forest school in our dedicated forest school area.
• Wraparound care available.
• A fun and engaging phonics scheme 'Monster Phonics'
• Lots of opportunities for parents to come into school including Mother's Day, Father's Day and Christmas workshops.
• Several fundraising events throughout the year, such as Bonfire and Fireworks, Christmas Fayre and Summer Fayre.
• A HUGE focus on physical health and mental health & wellbeing in our school which is taught from nursery to year 6.

How we help our new reception class children to settle in at Belle Vue:

Whilst starting reception class is in many ways exciting, we know that it can also feel daunting for some children. We therefore carefully plan how our new reception class children will be transitioned from their current settings and will be welcomed to our school.

This includes:

• Feeder visits to your child's current childcare setting, with your child's key person, before joining (or home visits if preferred).
• An induction meeting for parents
• A stay and play session on the first day
• Staggered starts and a few shorter days
• Transition sessions for Belle Vue nursery children to reception class.

"I honestly couldn't wish for a better school for my children. It is such a lovely, welcoming, nurturing environment where the children truly do come first. The teachers at Belle Vue go above and beyond every single day to make sure the children are not only learning and developing but are also having a fun time. It's clear how much care, effort and dedication goes into everything they do. Both of my children have absolutely loved every day they have spent there, and as a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your children are happy, safe and excited to go to school each morning. I feel incredibly lucky that my children get to be part of such a wonderful school community" - Miss M, October 2026  

"My children are SO happy at Belle Vue and love going to school. I feel they are fully supported by staff and are making great progress as a result. They particularly love being outside and so the dedicated forest school, expansive school grounds and opportunities for outdoor learning are real highlights for them." - Mrs D, October 2026
