Imagine, Believe, Achieve
New Starters
We are very much looking forward to meeting our new starters and their family members.
Learning Through Play
At Matlock Bath Holy Trinity we believe that children who feel happy and safe in an environment where they can explore and investigate will be successful learners. Therefore learning in Reception at Matlock Bath Holy Trinity Primary School is achieved through a variety of play based activities, some that are led by the children and some that are enhanced by adult input. Alongside independent learning we deliver short focused teaching sessions where the children are taught Phonics, Maths and writing. During these focused sessions we incorporate story telling, songs and active approaches to make them engaging and fun for all, creating a real love of learning. We are also real advocates for encouraging children to utilise and develop their communication and language skills, so we incorporate many opportunities for discussions and children to explore vocabulary during child initiated and adult led learning opportunities.
