Welcome to the Reception Year

In the Reception Year, Warwick Academy’s youngest learners are welcomed to a big school environment and encouraged to grow to their full potential within the safety of a smaller cottage setting. Reception Year students are supported by warm, dedicated and highly trained staff, with the goal of making progress in all areas of the curriculum, no matter their starting point. Reception Year students learn primarily through play and exploration, with every play activity carefully selected to address a specific learning goal.
