Reception
Welcome to Reception
In Reception we are always very busy! We have so much fun learning in all areas of the classroom both in and outdoors. We have weekly forest school and PE which are two of our favourite activities! Because our learning is outdoors, we always need to have suitable clothing for all weathers to make sure that we are as warm and dry as possible.
In Reception, breakfast starts at 8:00 until 8:20. We enjoy coming into school to have breakfast before our other friends arrive at 8:20. We all go home at 3:00.
We want to show you how much fun we have in Reception and how fantastic we are at learning so please take a look at the photos below-keep popping back too because we are always updating our page.
Mrs Schofield - Reception Teacher
This is my 10th year at Catchgate and I am absolutely delighted to be back in Early Years as temporary EYFS Lead. Outside of school I enjoy running and spending time with my family. When I get a spare minute I am usually found engrossed in a book!
I have many favourite children's books by different authors. At the moment my favourite story to read in school is Whatever Next by Jill Murphy.
Miss McGough - Teaching Assistant (am)
I came to Catchgate Primary School as a student and now I get to work here teaching all of our lovely students! I absolutely love working here and spending each day with the children. I teach PE and love all sports! However, dancing is my absolute favourite and you will probably see me dancing all around school. Outside of school I love doing hair and makeup, shopping and spending time with my loved ones including my dog (who I class as my baby).
Miss Kirkwood - Teaching Assistant (pm)
Miss Robson - EY's apprentice (pm)
I came to Catchgate as a pupil and now I get to work with all of our fantastic students. Outside of school, I enjoy going on walks, spending times with my friends and going shopping. I am so lucky to come back and work with everyone!
Mr Elsbury - EYP
Hello, I'm Mr Elsbury and I came to Catchgate Primary as a college student three years ago one day almost every week for those three years. I loved working in this school and with the children so much that I applied for a job here and have now been working here since September 2024.
