Synopsis

Reception, its a funny old term, rather like a waiting room, a foyer, or a gathering place before the main event. The main event here being the start of Key Stage One and school life. Reception has in many ways been seen as a holding pen, a preparation for school readiness rather than a stage and age in its own right. Neil Farmer draws upon his experience of working with and supporting schools and leaders up and down the country and abroad in many instances going right back to the basics and putting forward suggestions and strategies that will assist teachers in gaining an ownership of their classroom and a true understanding of their vital role as a facilitator, mediator and coach. It is not a one cap fits all solution, but rather some practical tips that Reception teachers may decide to employ, alter and make their own.
