Robins Reception/Year 1

Welcome to Robins Class, our vibrant mixed Reception and Year 1 class at Altrincham CE Primary School. Led by Miss Todd, alongside our experienced teaching assistant Miss Priestley, we provide a nurturing, ambitious and exciting environment where every child is encouraged to thrive.

In Robins Class, we lay strong foundations for learning, ensuring that every child develops the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for future success. Our mixed-age class offers many benefits, with younger children learning from older peers, while Year 1 children develop independence, responsibility and leadership skills. Together, they form a caring learning community where everyone is valued and supported.

We carefully blend the EYFS Early Learning Goals and the Year 1 National Curriculum, ensuring learning is matched to each child's age, stage and individual needs. Through play, exploration, direct teaching and meaningful experiences, children develop curiosity, resilience and a love of learning.

In Robins Class, you will see:

  • An ambitious and engaging curriculum that builds knowledge and skills over time
  • A strong focus on communication, language, reading and phonics
  • Opportunities to develop independence, creativity and problem-solving skills
  • High expectations for all children alongside warm, supportive relationships
  • Learning rooted in our Christian values of dignity, thankfulness, courage and koinonia

We are proud of our welcoming learning environment, which includes two beautiful classrooms and access to our own extensive natural outdoor space. These inspiring areas provide endless opportunities for exploration, creativity and active learning. 

At the heart of everything we do is our school vision: "Grow Strong and Bear Fruit." Through strong foundations, inspiring learning experiences and a caring community, we help every child to flourish and reach their full potential.
