Getting it Right in Reception by Neil Farmer

Getting it Right in Reception by Neil Farmer

Reception, it’s 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.

Neil's background in Early Years education as a nursery and reception class teacher, advisory teacher, deputy head, Foundation Stage Consultant and Head of Early Years gives him great insight into how boys learn and develop. He has made countless visits to numerous settings and schools, has completed SIP training, Ofsted training and he is a keynote speaker at regional and national events. As well as numerous magazine articles, he has also written ‘Getting it Right for Boys’ (Featherstone).
