Welcome from our Reception teachers

Welcome to Reception

We would like to welcome you to Woodpecker Hall Academy and hope that your child will enjoy their time with us.

We are excited that you have chosen our school and are looking forward to getting to know you in the coming months and years.

At Woodpecker Hall Academy we strongly believe in creating a positive partnership with our families. Please ask us about any worries you or your child may have, however small they may seem.

You can let us know if you have any queries or questions at any time.

In our booklet, which you can view or download, we have included some important information about starting in Reception which you might like to keep for reference. Please read it carefully before your child starts with us in September.

We expect that by the end of their year in Reception, the children will be confident, developing their independence, capable and ready to continue their learning. We look forward to working with you and your child to make the time spent in the Reception year both happy and rewarding. 

You will also find a lot more more information about the school on our website.

If you haven't already make sure you sign up to our social media channels - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter - and follow news about the school across the summer.
