How we communicate your child’s progress at

St Catherine’s.

Early Years Foundation Stage

In our Early Years Foundation Stage which includes the nursery for 2 year olds, Nursery for 3 Year olds and our Reception Year, parents will have a parent consultation in the Autumn Term and again in the Spring Term. After each parent consultation (which will last approximately 10 – 15 minutes), parents will receive a copy of their child’s Learning Journey. Parent Consultations will take place in person or virtually.

In the Summer Term Reception Parents are invited to come to an Open evening to see their child’s classroom and their child’s teacher and take a tour of the school.

In the Summer Term parents will receive an end of year report outlining their child’s achievements.
