Welcome to Reception
Welcome to Reception at Broad Oak Primary!
Come and explore the exciting world of our youngest learners! In Reception, every day is filled with fun, discovery, and lots of learning.
Our brilliant team - Mrs Bentham, along with cover teachers Mrs Rostron and Mrs Sheffield, and teaching assistants Mrs Lawless, Mrs Allen, and Miss Nicholl - work together to create a caring and inspiring environment where children thrive.
We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to!

Forest School
Reception children take part in a block of Forest School sessions throughout the year, giving them regular opportunities to explore, investigate and learn through hands‑on experiences in the natural environment. These sessions have a clear impact: children develop stronger communication and social skills, increased confidence, and greater independence. They show improved resilience when tackling challenges outdoors and demonstrate curiosity and problem‑solving skills as they work together. Forest School also supports emotional wellbeing, giving pupils a calm, sensory‑rich space where they can manage risk safely and build positive relationships.
