Welcome Reception Children & Families!
Hello and a big welcome to our school community!
We’re so excited to begin this journey with you and your child as they start Reception — a time full of discovery, play, and important firsts.
At Bitterne Manor, our family nurtures potential by building:
Brave hearts – encouraging confidence and kindness
Motivated minds – sparking curiosity and a love of learning
️ Proud voices – helping children express themselves
Supportive connections – building strong, caring relationships
Together, we turn curiosity into lifelong learning.
Here’s what to expect as you get started:
A warm, caring start – Our friendly team will help your child feel safe, happy, and confident.
Learning through play – We nurture imagination and exploration every day.
Support for families too – We’re here for you throughout this exciting transition.
Strong connections – We can’t wait to get to know you and work together.
Here’s to a fantastic year of learning, laughter, and new friendships!
