Miss Burnham, alongside the other members of staff in Reception class, will assess all of the children at the end of the school year when they turn 5.

The assessment is based on classroom observation - your child won’t be tested. We use the early learning goals, a bank of statements, which can be found in the early years framework, to determine whether your child has achieved the expected level for the end of reception year or not.  If your child acheives the expected level in the areas of learning: Personal, Social and Emotional Development.  Communication and Language.  Physical Development. Literacy and Mathematics it will be deemed they have achieved Good Level of Development at the end of their Early Years journey.  All of this information will be reported to you in their end of year, school report.
